Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of short-term care, we awarded this nursing home a score of A- in that area. In determining these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Ohio in this area with 63.9 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing scores are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is higher than the level of care offered by most facilities. Finally, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was long-term care, which is this facility's weakest category. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is obviously very concerning. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 93.333336 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is somewhat below what we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.1 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
