Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our nursing grade is based on several factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Michigan in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving residents even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a fine short-term care grade. This actually turned out to be this facility's third strongest category grade. In that category, this facility received a grade of A-. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this nursing home. It fared as well as just about any nursing home in the country with 59.3 percent of its patients returning home. Most places are below 50 percent in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is long-term care, where this facility was given a B. Believe it or not, this proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. A facility is doing something right when their weakest score still outperforms most other nursing homes. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.39024 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
