Short-term Care Quality
On top of performing well overall, this nursing home received high marks in our short-term care rating as well. It received our highest score in that category with a score of A+. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Oregon in this area with 66.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
Turning to inspections, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the nursing home's government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility offers an extremely impressive 4.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is among the higher figures in the nation. Finally, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering falls which lead to major injury, this facility performed as well as any facility in the country.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home one of our better scores in this category, with a B. Even though this is not as high as several of this facility's other scores, it is nevertheless an excellent grade. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. This facility's vaccination statistics lagged a bit behind a few of its other data points in this category, such as its number of nursing hours per resident. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 82.899635 percent of its patients. We would like to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. The last datapoint we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 2.83 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this admittedly wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this category, this number can be skewed for some facilities due to some of the preexisting medical conditions of patients.
