Perrysburg Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

While we graded this facility very poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a C in this category. Our nursing grade assesses quite a few factors, however, the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its patients.

As it turns out, its inspection reports were not the source of this facility's abysmal overall grade. It earned a grade of C in this category. Our inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This place had 4 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you that this facility avoided the more serious categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Sadly, this nursing home's next highest score is short-term care. However, with a D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. In determining these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. As you might expect, we found that this place offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical nursing home. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.

The final area we assessed was long-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a D in this area. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home provided the vaccine to just 77.36842 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
