Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its profile, this nursing home also earned a grade of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. In forming our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Ohio in this area with 63.2 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of long-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B. It outperformed most facilities in this area. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of very favorable nursing hour statistics, this facility's vaccination data was superb also. In fact, this facility vaccinated 99.763596 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This combination proved to be effective as this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.47 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The next area we rated ended up being this facility's poorest category. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still awarded it a decent grade of B- for nursing. The nursing rating includes quite a few data points, most of which are based on nursing hours. This facility provided 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at a few quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility was above average in most of these metrics, with good scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are often good indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility offers.
