Short-term Care Quality
On top of earning a strong overall score, this facility fared well in short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Ohio in this area with 68.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive profile, this nursing home also performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, it earned a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that area with an A-. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category is long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road score in this area. Our long-term care grades are vital for individuals seeking personal care. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. While it had 4.58 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was not too far off the national average.
Nurse Quality
Our last category is nursing, where we gave this facility a C in that area. Our nursing score analyzes quite a few components, however, the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. This place performed admirably in this area.
