Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in long-term care. We awarded them an A+ in this area. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.64789 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a dangerous health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.48 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we gave this nursing home an A- for inspections. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. There are a host of criteria included in this area. Most of the criteria relate to the quantity 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 assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is short-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of B. While this ended up being its worst category score, this is nevertheless a favorable rating. In our short-term care score, we try to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Ohio with 69.4 percent of its residents returning home. With most nursing homes, less than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
