Ohio Living Park Vista

We really couldn't find anything positive to say about this nursing home. It received a lowly D in the area of short-term care. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Given its score in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Finally, we considered the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

This facility's second best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

We wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its inspection score. An F in this area is alarming because it generally points to red flags on the facility's government inspections. For nursing homes with poor inspection grades, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility was assessed one deficiency on its inspection report. We were relieved to find that it wasn't in a category that suggests that it posed a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

The next area we analyzed is long-term care, where this nursing home received a very poor score in this area also. It received an F for this category, which is definitely a major concern. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this nursing home provided the vaccine to only 70.08197 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
