In computing our short-term care ratings, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This score is generally a fair measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. It performed as well as just about any nursing home in Ohio in this area with 57.8 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, less than half of their short-stay residents return home.

Turning to our next area, this facility also received a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.6633 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored was nursing, where this nursing home received a B. Believe it or not, this was this facility's worst area. A nursing home could be doing a lot worse when their weakest grade still is superior to most facilities. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
