Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Our inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this facility a grade of B in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our better grades. In computing our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This score is frequently a solid measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. This place performed as well as just about any facility in Indiana in this area with 71.5 percent of its patients returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term patients are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. Nursing scores are primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility averaged only 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a bottom of the barrel score in this area as well. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is obviously very concerning. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 90.87838 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.49 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
