Facility Inspections
To pair with its favorable overall grade, we awarded this facility an A- for our inspections rating. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. It does not look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without deficiency data for this facility, it is a challenge to fully evaluate the place in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this category. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. We analyzed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this category. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Ohio in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning a patient more often.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of D for the area of long-term care, making this the nursing home's worst grade. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is more than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
