ProMedica Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation - Sylvania

We want to note that this facility earned a far better grade for short-term care than its overall score. In fact, it received one of our best scores in that category with an A-. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

We would also like to draw your attention to this nursing home's strong inspection grade. This facility earned a B in this category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's inspections. Places that score well in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our nursing category analyzes a handful of components, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a patient more often.

The final category we looked at was long-term care, which turned out to be a weak spot for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for long-term care. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 89.50617 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points lower than average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
