Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality facility is that it received a very impressive short-term care score. In fact, short-term care turned out to be its best category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an A-. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more critical for those requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed as well in this category. Inspection grades are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's government inspections. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the amount of time nurses are caring for patients and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics 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 place Michigan 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 policy of moving a resident even once per day.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. We would not necessarily rule out a nursing home due to one poor score though. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.305084 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
