Facility Inspections
On top of faring well overall, this facility also received nearly flawless government inspections. Therefore, it received one of our highest scores in that category with a grade of A+. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. You really can't go wrong with a deficiency-free inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a dominant short-term care score. In fact, this turned out to be this nursing home's second best category score. In that area, this facility received a grade of A. In our short-term care category, we try to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Ohio in this area with 62 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Our nursing score assesses many datapoints, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the better figures we found. Lastly, this nursing home was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we assessed in this category. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of B-. This actually ended up being this facility's worst category. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After assessing the impressive nursing hours and other staffing provided by this nursing home, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.085365 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which appears to be higher than most nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
