Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its first-rate resume, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care area. In fact, we awarded it a score of A for the area. In determining our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is considered to be a fair assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients 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 Ohio in this area with 68.5 percent of its residents returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. Our nursing grade is based on a handful of datapoints, however, the main one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which was above the national average. Finally, this place was also above average in each of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. It performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next area, this nursing home was given a highly favorable long-term care rating. In fact, we gave it a B+ in that category, finishing off one of our more favorable profiles. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 4.88 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as impressive as some of its other scores in this area, this number may be skewed for some facilities based on some of the medical complexity of patients.
