Abstract Details

2017, Master of Gerontological Studies, Miami University, Gerontology.
Ohio has an older population who are more likely to live alone than other states. Older Ohioans are at higher risk of nursing home admission. Additionally, a recent study shows that nursing homes in Ohio have lower quality compared to the rest of the United States. Hence, improving nursing home quality in Ohio is paramount in the field of aging services. The goal of this current study was to identify factors that affect nursing home quality in Ohio using data from the 2013 Biennial Survey of Long-Term Care Facilities in Ohio for Nursing Facilities and 2013 fourth-quarter archived data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Five-Star Rating System. Not-for-profit facilities with a low proportion of Medicaid days were more likely to be high performers in Health Inspection, Staffing, and Overall domains. Small facilities were more likely to be high performers in Staffing and Overall domains. Facilities that had no administrator turnover were more likely to be high performers in Health Inspection. Non-chain affiliated facilities performed better in the Staffing domain. Facilities with low STNA retention rates were at higher risk of receiving one- or two- star ratings in Overall. Implications for consumers, policy makers, and providers are discussed.
