Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that category, with an A. This is a much better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means CMS did not 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 something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this nursing home a B+ in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more critical for people requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This ended up being more of a strength for this facility. This place performed as well as just about any facility in Ohio with 62.3 percent of its residents returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents ever return home.
Long-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home just a D for our long-term care rating. This is not a score to write home about. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Due to its grade in this category, we were pleasantly surprised to find that this facility had favorable subcategory scores in both nursing hours and its vaccination records. In fact, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This percentage is better than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.61 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The last category we graded was nursing. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of nursing, making this its worst category. When determining our nursing ratings, we assess both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. We do not think quantity of care was the reason for this places poor nursing grade. With 4.5 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this nursing home actually surpassed the national average. Despite performing well in terms of nursing hours, this nursing home did not fare as well in the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home was above the national average in both statistics.
