Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. In our short-term care rating, we seek to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Indiana in this area with 63.1 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also earned a nearly flawless government inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero 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 health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. Nursing ratings are mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 4.5 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This was one of the more impressive totals we found. Furthermore, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this place also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With under 5 percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any place the country in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is long-term care. This nursing home received an above average nursing grade this year, with a grade of B. While this isn't quite as strong as many of its other scores, this is still one of our better grades for this category. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 96.875 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not take any chances. The last statistic we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.28 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
