This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility North Dakota in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning patients more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

In the last area, we gave this facility an A for our short-term care grade. This finished off an elite report card. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
