Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this facility also earned an elite long-term care grade. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category, with an A-. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.43 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in inspections, which is based on its recent inspection reports. We gave it an A- for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded a strong short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better scores in that area with a score of B+. Short-term care scores are important for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This place performed as well as just about any nursing home in Ohio in this area with 61.5 percent of its residents returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we analyzed was nursing, where this nursing home was awarded a B. This facility did not turn out to have any noticeable weaknesses. When calculating our nursing grades, we analyze both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
