Nurse Quality
The main thing salvaging this facility's profile is its elite nursing score. We awarded this facility an A+ in that category. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Oregon in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving patients more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we gave it an elite short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A-. Our short-term care grade is typically used to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This place fared better than most facilities in the nation with 55.6 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of long-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in that category. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 1.74 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was not bad since it had some more complex patients.
Facility Inspections
The last category we assessed was inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave it an F in this category. This ended up pulling down this facility's overall score significantly. For nursing homes with poor inspection scores, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This particular facility was hit with one category J through K deficiency, which are among the worst deficiencies. These categories mean that the government inspectors identified a deficiency which puts patient health or safety in immediate danger. Finally, this facility also received 2 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
