Short-term Care Quality
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. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. This place performed as well as just about any nursing home in Ohio with 57.2 percent of its patients returning home. At most facilities, less than half of their short-stay patients return home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with a B. This is better than the facility's overall grade. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
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. This nursing home's nursing rating was hurt by its weak data related to avoiding pressure ulcers. In fact, we found that 29.5 percent of this nursing home's residents suffered from pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive category is long-term care, which is the final area we looked at. It received a lowly F for this category. Even with several solid scores in other categories, this score is nevertheless disappointing so we wanted to make a note of it. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. 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.
