Nurse Quality

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Nursing ratings are primarily based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was above the national average. Finally, this nursing home also excelled in several quality-based metrics we assessed. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility South Dakota in this category. This is generally an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by providing better nursing care and having a system of turning residents even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

In the last category, we gave this nursing home an A+ for our short-term care grade. This finished off a first-rate report card. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 50 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, less than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
