Hoosier Village

In addition to receiving an elite overall grade, this facility also earned an A+ inspection score. This is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a nursing home. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple relatively minor dings aren't something to panic about.

In addition, this facility was given dominant marks in the category of short-term care. Consequently, it was given one of our most impressive scores in that category with a score of A+. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. The nursing score is based on several subcategories, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The next category we analyzed is long-term care. We awarded this facility a decent score in this category, with a grade of B-. Even though this wasn't on par with many of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless not a major area of concern. In the area of long-term care, we look at the amount of care offered by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home submitted vaccination data. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
