When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see.

Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided 1.7 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. At least one fourth of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. This is a high ratio of skilled nursing. In computing our scores, we apply more weight to care provided by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. 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 facility Minnesota in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed ended up being this nursing home's poorest category. However, even its lowest point would likely be a highlight for most facilities. In fact, we gave it a strong grade of B in short-term care. Short-term care grades are typically employed to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This nursing home elevated its score in this area by offering more care from registered nurses than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
