Short-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ short-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Our short-term care ratings are important for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy, we found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in this area with 76.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received an A+ nursing grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+ category grades. Nursing grades are largely associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 4.5 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which was among the higher totals we found. Finally, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its residents sustaining falls which lead to serious injury, this facility performed as well as any nursing home in Indiana.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded proved to be this nursing home's weakest area. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it an acceptable grade of B- for our long-term care category. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to judge a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. On top of providing above average levels of nursing care, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This statistic is higher than many nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.37 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
