In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category, where it received an elite grade of A+. Short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 6.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we gave this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We scrutinized the levels of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in determining our grade in this area. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures 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 facility Ohio in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving patients more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed was long-term care. In this area, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of B-. This actually ended up being this nursing home's least impressive area. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 94.202896 percent of its patients. This facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
