Facility Inspections
It should also be noted that this facility's inspection grade outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave it a B+ for its inspections rating, which is a very solid score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a strong short-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we awarded them a grade of B+ in this area, which is one of our more favorable scores. In forming our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. It fared as well as just about any nursing home in Indiana in this area with 56.6 percent of its residents returning home. At most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. The nursing grade assesses many factors, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also factored in a few quality-based measures in this category. Although this place didn't rank well in terms of its nursing hours, it fared much better in some of the quality measures we looked at. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than average. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided with better nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care, which proved to be a weak link for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in long-term care. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means the facility did not perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 69.49152 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.74 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
