Lady of the Oaks Retirement Manor

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in this category with a grade of A. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had a generally positive view of this nursing home's inspections.

This nursing home was awarded its second most favorable category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a decent grade. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 99.73404 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility an D. The nursing score assesses quite a few factors, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Turning to our next category, this facility really didn't perform well. Due to a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is its poorest category grade. Short-term care ratings are important for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this facility provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its residents returning home.
