Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

On top of receiving a favorable overall score, this facility also received a strong inspection grade, which is associated with its recent inspections. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at 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 often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving patients more often.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we analyzed is long-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B- in this category. With our long-term care rating, we focus more on the sheer quantity of services offered by a facility, as well as a few quality metrics. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.65987 percent of its residents, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we graded is short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in that area. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we size up the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is generally a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
