Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this place also received first-rate government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category, with an A. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also was given a high-end short-term care grade. We gave them a strong strong of A in this category. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. This place fared as well as just about any facility in Ohio in this area with 71.6 percent of its patients returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was long-term care. This facility was given an impressive long-term care score, with a grade of B in this area. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. This nursing home's vaccination records lagged a bit behind a few of the other statistics in this category, such as its number of nursing hours per resident. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 85.128204 percent of its patients. We'd love to see some improvement herein this statistic next year. Fortunately, this nursing home excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.1 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a substantially lower hospitalization rate than the average nursing home.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the last category, this facility was given a decent nursing rating. While this wasn't as elite as a few of its other scores, this is truly nothing to be ashamed of. Our nursing rating includes quite a few factors, however, the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. With 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Lastly, we factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This place fared poorly in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average figures for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are often accurate measures of the quality of nursing care provided.
