Facility Inspections
On top of performing well overall, this nursing home received an excellent inspection report. As a result, we gave it one of our best grades in that category with an A. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was elite in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Not many nursing homes performed better in this category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. This place fared as well as just about any nursing home in Ohio in this area with 60.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. The nursing grade includes several datapoints, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was above the national average. Finally, this nursing home also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, it fared as well as any facility the country in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as good indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was long-term care. We gave this nursing home one of our more favorable scores in this category, with a grade of B. Although this is not as favorable as many of its other grades, it is still an excellent score. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.19786 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
