This nursing home also received an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This grade is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

In addition to providing impressive levels of care, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed as well as any nursing home in Minnesota in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Only a select few nursing homes received a B+ or better in every category.

In fact, this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This combination proved to be successful as this place keeps its patients out of the hospital.
