This facility earned a favorable short-term care grade this year. We awarded them a strong score in that category, with a B+. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services.

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 5.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is among the better totals in Ohio. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the more highly skilled levels of nurses. We were impressed by both of these figures. Lastly, our nursing rating also includes a few applicable quality measures. While this facility excelled in terms of quantity of nursing hours, it lagged behind in certain metrics that focused on quality.

Even with several solid scores in other categories, this score is nevertheless disappointing so we wanted to make a note of it.

After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 1.79 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not bad since it had more complex patients.
