Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our nursing grade. Our nursing grade is based on several factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. With 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this place surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Finally, this facility also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. It performed as well as any facility Ohio when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The third area we graded was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a solid grade of B-. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was long-term care, ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. This was one of the couple of weak links of an otherwise strong report card. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. This facility's vaccination records weren't as impressive as its nursing hours. It gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 87.83784 percent of its patients. We would like to see some improvement herein this statistic next year. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.51 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
