Nurse Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating analyzes several factors, most of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home boasts a really impressive 6.8 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, of which a significant portion was provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly highly skilled levels of nurses. This is among the highest totals of nursing hours we found. On top of providing impressive levels of nursing care, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, it performed as well as any nursing home in the state in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, this facility received strong marks in the category of long-term care. Consequently, it received one of our most impressive grades in that area with a grade of A+. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to assessing the elite volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were happy with the nursing home's record for vaccinations. For example, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our third category, this top notch facility also performed well in the category of short-term care. In this area, we awarded it a A+. Few facilities fared better in this category. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This facility excelled at the highest level in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered about 50% more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is an excellent sign. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Oregon in this area with 66.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it earned an elite grade of A. This finished off a straight A report card for this nursing home. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
