Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a strong facility is that it received an impressive inspection grade. Inspections is its best category. In this category, we awarded it an A. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. In our short-term care score, we strive to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of 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. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. It outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the country with 72.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
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. There are a number of factors included in this grade. Most of these factors are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 4.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a very impressive figure which typically corresponds with higher quality care. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, this place performed as well as any facility Indiana in this category. This is often an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by providing better nursing care and a system of turning residents at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is long-term care, where this facility was given a C. This actually turned out to be this facility's least impressive area. This is nevertheless a middle of the pack score. In computing these long-term care grades, we assess the facility's personal care services.

Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was not quite as favorable. Here we found that this place had 2.31 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
