Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a first-rate nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. The final datapoint 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 65.7 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. We looked at the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with residents, in determining our score in this area. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.7 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Very few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of that total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of nursing care, this facility was also above average in several of the major quality-based metrics we looked at in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are generally reliable measures of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Facility Inspections
Another impressive feature of this nursing home is its inspection rating. In that category, we awarded this facility an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is long-term care. This facility received a better than average nursing score in our assessment, with a B. Even though this is not as good as some of its other grades, this remains one of our better grades for that category. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 96.75325 percent of its residents, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.95 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
