Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than its overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
An additional strength of this nursing home is its top-shelf grade in short-term care. We awarded them one of our best grades in that category, with a grade of A-. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Remarkably, this place offers its residents at least one and a half times as many physical therapist hours per week than the typical nursing home. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Indiana in this area with 59.2 percent of its residents returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. We weighed the levels of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time the nurses spent with patients, in calculating our score in this area. With 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality measures, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this metric. Avoiding major falls is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was long-term care. We gave this facility a D in our long-term care category, rendering this its worst category. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Due to its grade in this category, it is surprising to learn that this facility received good marks in both nursing hours and its vaccination records. In fact, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 97.637794 percent of its residents. This figure is better than the majority of nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility did not perform quite as well here, with 1.73 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
