Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

We also would like to alert you to the fact that this nursing home was awarded a strong grade of A- in our short-term care category. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is typically a reliable measure of the facility's rehabilitation. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Ohio in this area with 62.8 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
We also want to alert you to the fact that this nursing home received a strong grade of A- in our long-term care category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 4.28 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as impressive as some of its other scores in this category, this number may be skewed for some facilities due to some of the preexisting medical conditions of patients.
Nurse Quality
The final category we scored was this nursing home's worst category. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it an acceptable grade of B- in our nursing category. Our nursing score is largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
