Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an A+ for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 93.90244 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Building on its first-rate profile, this nursing home also was given a strong short-term care grade, with a score of A-. In forming our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Ohio in this area with 65.6 percent of its residents returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the next area, this facility also performed admirably in the nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a B+ in this category. This wrapped up a very strong report card. Our nursing category assesses quite a few data points, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This facility offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 5 hours per resident per day. This is more nursing care than nearly any other place provides. Lastly, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is often an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided with better nursing care and having a policy of regularly turning residents to avoid bed sores.
