This score is frequently a meaningful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. This nursing home provides a decent amount of services from physical therapists and registered nurses based on our assessment.

This place fared as well as just about any nursing home in Nebraska in this area with 57.5 percent of its patients returning home. At most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.

Contributing to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received a very favorable long-term care grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents.

This combination proved to be effective as this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.19 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a much better hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. It received one of our best grades in that category with a grade of B+. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed was nursing, where this facility received a grade of B-. While this wound up being its poorest category rating, this is still not the end of the world. We looked at the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the number of hours the nurses worked with patients, in computing our grade in this area. This place provided 5.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is an impressive figure. Lastly, we also factored some quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these data points as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
