Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Inspection scores are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received an A+ for its short-term care score. In our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This facility provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is often a great sign. The final measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Ohio in this area with 70.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility was awarded a first-rate grade of A- in our long-term care category. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to providing well above average levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.39394 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.35 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the last category, this nursing home was given a respectable nursing grade. Although this wasn't nearly as dominant as several of its other grades, this is truly not a terrible score. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we consider the number of hours nurses commit to patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This place provides a very impressive 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their residents. Out of this total, many of these hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. Lastly, we also factored some quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these data points as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
