Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this facility fared well in short-term care. We awarded it an impressive grade of A for that category. Short-term care grades are commonly used to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. It performed as well as just about any facility in Indiana in this area with 69.2 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it earned an A-. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility earned high marks in the area of nursing. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. There are numerous datapoints included in this grade. Many of these criteria reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Approximately a quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. This is a high percentage of skilled nursing care. We weight these hours more in determining our nursing scores. Finally, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our final area, this facility received an acceptable long-term care rating. Although this wasn't as strong as a few of its other scores, this is still not a poor grade. For long-term care residents, the primary goal 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. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 38.509315 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly below the national average. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.59 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
