Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home an A for our short-term care grade. This is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is generally an excellent sign. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Indiana in this area with 65.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also earned favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a B. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
Another reason we rated this facility so highly is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is as good as it gets in this category. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This particular nursing home provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per patient each day. At least one fourth of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. This is a high ratio of skilled nursing. In computing our ratings, we apply more weight to care provided by registered or licensed nurses. 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 the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a patient more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our last area, this facility didn't perform very well. With an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this was this nursing home's poorest category. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 93.6 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.43 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
