Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this category. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints.

This nursing home also excelled in the area of short-term care, where it received a score of A. Only a select group of nursing homes fared better in this area. Our short-term care grade is often employed to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. This nursing home fared much better in the final metric we assessed in this area, which was the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. It performed as well as just about any nursing home in Ohio with 64.2 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents ever return home.

For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 84.64286 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be slightly less than we expected but still a decent percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.4 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
