Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an A+ long-term care grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to offering very impressive levels of nursing care, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 97.30337 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.24 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a significantly better hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 4.5 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is an impressive figure which typically correlates with higher quality care. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in the quality measures we looked at. It performed as well as any facility the state in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our best scores in that category, with a score of A-. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
In the final category we assessed, this nursing home was awarded a very strong grade of A- in our short-term care category. With this grade, the facility rounded out a straight A profile. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. 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. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It performed as well as just about any nursing home in Ohio in this area with 61.5 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
