Orrville Pointe

To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. A lone deficiency isn't anything to panic about.

This facility received its second highest category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a respectable grade. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated a relatively low 71.52778 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

We also gave this nursing home a respectable grade in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of C. Short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. It does not appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

The next category we graded was nursing. We gave it a C in that area. This is a decent grade in this category. There are a variety of data points included in this category. Many of the subcategories are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also considered some quality-based statistics in this category. Although this facility didn't rank highly in terms of its nursing hours, it performed better in some of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, this nursing home fared better than average. This is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented with better nursing care.
