Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave it an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's impressive category grades came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our higher scores in that area, with a score of B. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
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. When calculating our nursing scores, we analyze both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility 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 Ohio in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving a patient more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our fourth category, this nursing home received a decent short-term care score of C. In calculating our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is generally a solid measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
