Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
In addition to a phenomenal overall grade, this facility also received A+ nursing grade. Our nursing rating includes several factors, however, the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 4.6 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is among the better figures in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. We are really impressed by these figures. In addition to offering impressive levels of nursing care, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed as well as any nursing home in the nation in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This top-shelf facility also was superb in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A+. Only a small group of facilities fared better in this area. Short-term care grades are often used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than a typical nursing home. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Michigan in this area with 65.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also had a nearly flawless government inspection report. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with a score of A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
In the final category we analyzed, this nursing home was awarded a very favorable grade of A in our long-term care category. With this score, the nursing home completed a straight A profile. Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 96.05263 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
