Corvallis Manor

This nursing home really excelled in the area of short-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A. Few facilities performed better in this category. If it was not for this grade, this facility's overall score would have been much worse. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this facility an B+. We weighed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses were with residents, in calculating our grade in this category. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This nursing home earned its third best score in the area of inspections. Inspection scores are based on a facility's recent inspection reports. We awarded this facility a C in this category. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This place had 4 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in categories J through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to place patient health or safety in immediate harm or jeopardy. In the bigger picture, this inspection report definitely could have been much worse.

This nursing home's weakest area was long-term care, which is the last category we looked at. In this area, we gave this nursing home an D. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 97.87234 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
