Short-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ short-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Our short-term care grades are presumably most meaningful for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Ohio in this area with 76.5 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to an already impressive profile, this facility also received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. As a result, we awarded it an A+ inspection grade. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. When computing our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility boasts an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient daily, of which more than an hour of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is among the most highly trained levels of nurses. Finally, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care, in which this facility received a C. This actually ended up being this nursing home's worst area. This is still a middle of the pack score. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. After assessing the very respectable amount of nursing hours and other staffing provided by this nursing home, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 97.333336 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than many nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
