Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this facility also earned first-rate health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our best grades in this category, with an A+. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, this facility also received favorable short-term care scores in our assessment. In fact, we awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with a grade of B. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It fared as well as just about any facility in Indiana in this area with 58.1 percent of its residents returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Nursing scores are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. With our long-term care score, we look at the sheer volume of services offered by a nursing home, as well as a series of qualitative data points. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 94.26752 percent of its residents, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.92 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this place is not too far off the national average.
