Short-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. This facility is the gold standard in terms of skilled nursing staffing. In fact, it provided approximately one and a half times as many physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. On top of excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it fared as well as just about any facility in the country with 71.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing ratings are largely tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides an incredible 5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Out of that total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of nursing care, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients suffering falls resulting in major injury, this facility performed as well as any nursing home Oregon. Avoiding major falls is typically an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
Adding another impressive category grade, we gave this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is long-term care. We awarded this facility an acceptable grade in that area, with a grade of C. While this is not as strong as many of its other scores, it is still nothing to be ashamed of. Our long-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's amount of nursing care. This includes a broad range of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. While we determined this nursing home has an above average amount of nursing hours provided by nurses and other nursing staff, we found its vaccination rate to be a bit below average. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 79.62963 percent of its patients. This is one figure we'd like to see this facility bring up. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
