Facility Inspections
This facility has received near flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Indiana in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a C. While this turned out to be its lowest category rating, this is still a middle of the pack score. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more important for those needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
