Piqua Manor is an average-sized nursing home in Piqua, Ohio. Featuring an overall score of B, this is a fine nursing home. Based on our ratings, this facility has quite a bit going for it. Fortunately, this facility didn't have any bad scores in any of the four major categories. Additional information about its category grades is available below.

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

An additional quality feature for this facility is that it was awarded an above average long-term care score. In fact, this ended up being its second best category score. In that area, we gave this facility a B+. For patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 93.88379 percent of its residents. This is slightly lower than we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. Fortunately, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. While it had 1.87 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was better than most facilities since it had more complicated patients.

This nursing home also received an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B in this area. With our short-term care assessment, we seek to forge a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational 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 final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It performed as well as just about any facility in Ohio in this area with 59.1 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.

The final category we assessed was nursing. We awarded it a C in that area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. There are quite a few criteria included in this category. Most of the data points are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as minimizing major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this statistic.
