Short-term Care Quality
In addition to earning a great overall grade, this nursing home excelled at short-term care. In fact, we gave it an impressive grade of A for that category. In crafting these short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy, we found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in the country with 69.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to this nursing home's impressive resume, we awarded this facility an A for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspections. Nursing homes that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. The nursing rating weighs a number of factors. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. With 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this nursing home surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in the quality measures we looked at. It performed as well as any facility Ohio in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of B-. This actually proved to be this facility's least impressive category. This is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. One of the criteria we considered after this nursing home's strong nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the senior population. This combination proved to be successful as this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.52 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
