Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a score of A for our short-term care grade. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. 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 last metric we considered in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Indiana in this area with 64.4 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Nursing ratings are largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as good indicators of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, we gave this nursing home a D for the area of long-term care. This is the facility's worst category rating. Unfortunately, this category pulled down the nursing home's overall profile a bit. For residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 96.77419 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.55 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
