This grade is right in line with the city grade in Dayton, which is admittedly a bit below average nationally. One of the best aspects of this nursing home's report card is its exemplary inspection rating, which we will address in the next section.

Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a favorable short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded them a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is typically a useful assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. This place fared as well as just about any facility with 63.2 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest area turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. With our long-term care score, we focus on the sheer volume of care provided by a facility, as well as a handful of quality measures. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.19495 percent of its patients. The last datapoint we assessed was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.31 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this statistic can be skewed for some facilities based on the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed was nursing, which is a low point for this facility. We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for nursing. In computing a facility's nursing score, we weigh the amount of time nurses are caring for residents as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This facility averaged only 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. This place also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
