Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a score of A- for our short-term care grade. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Ohio in this metric with 60.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facilities third most favorable category was long-term care. We gave it a B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road grade in this area. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 96.01594 percent of its residents. The last datapoint we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.28 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not too far off the national average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our final category, this facility was awarded an acceptable nursing grade of C. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also factored a few quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This place was relatively weak in some of the data points we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are often reliable measures of the quality of nursing care available.
