In this process, we analyze a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Michigan in this area with 71.3 percent of its residents returning home.

Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. There are a variety of subcategories within this category. Many of the factors are tied to staffing levels. With 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the national average. Finally, this place also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is often a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented with better nursing care and having a policy of regularly turning residents to avoid bed sores.

Our long-term care ratings are vital for patients looking for personal care. In addition to looking at the above average level of care provided by nurses aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were pleased by the nursing home's record for vaccinations. By way of example, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.515526 percent of its patients, which is above average. The last datapoint we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.51 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this statistic may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the preexisting medical conditions of patients.
