Nurse Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall grade as discussed above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent nursing score. We gave them a grade of A in this category. The nursing score considers several factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Ohio in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving patients even once per day.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility excelled in inspections, where it earned an A. Inspection ratings are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspections. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our stronger scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B+. Our short-term care scores are presumably more critical for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was nursing, ended up being this facility's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that category. This really is one of just a few dings on an otherwise impressive report card. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 97.402596 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
