Short-term Care Quality
We want to note that this nursing home received a far better grade for short-term care than its overall score. It received one of our best scores in that category with an A. In our short-term care score, we strive to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This nursing home provides a decent amount of services from physical therapists and registered nurses based on our assessment. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It fared as well as just about any facility in Michigan in this area with 64.9 percent of its patients returning home. At most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this facility an B+. We analyzed the licensure of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses worked with residents, in calculating our grade in this category. This facility provided 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This facility fared well in some of the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided with better nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of C. In determining our long-term care scores, we scrutinize the personal care offered to the facility's patients. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 94.71698 percent of its patients against pneumonia. The last statistic we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 1.72 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is not too far off the national average.
Facility Inspections
Turning the final category of inspections, this facility did not fare well. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection category. This dragged this facility's overall grade down as we heavily weight this category. When a facility has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also want to point out that this facility received large government fines recently of over $100,000. This generally indicates that a bad performance spanned more than one year.
