Facility Inspections
On top of earning a great overall score, this facility fared even better in our inspections category which is based on the facility's recent government inspection reports. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for this area, which is one of our highest grades. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was given an impressive long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this category. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics 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 nursing home Indiana in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a resident more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was short-term care, where we gave it a strong grade of B. This nursing home truly doesn't have any weak links. In crafting our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
