Marquis Mt Tabor

Marquis Mt Tabor is a nursing home located in Portland, Oregon which has 841,711 people. This facility was awarded an A- overall, which is among the best scores we offer. A grade in this range requires superb marks across the board. Even in a city of 34 other nursing homes, this facility stands out. This facility's impressive report card was highlighted by its short-term care grade, which you can find in the next paragraph.

One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned an A+ in short-term care. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more important for individuals in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. This place excelled in two key staffing areas we assessed. It supplied about 50% more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is often an encouraging sign. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that were able to return home from this facility. On top of excelling in the area of physical therapy, we found that it performed as well as just about any facility in this area with 73.8 percent of its residents returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. Nursing grades are mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 5.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is among the more impressive totals in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. We are very impressed by these figures. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this place also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its residents suffering falls leading to major injury, this place performed as well as any nursing home Oregon. Avoiding serious falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses and better safety protocols are in place.

Another impressive feature of this nursing home is its inspection rating. In that area, we awarded this facility an A-. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A few minor dings aren't something to panic about.

The last area we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of C. Although this ended up being its least impressive category grade, this is nevertheless a middle of the pack score. Long-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of care. This includes a broad spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. This facility's vaccination statistics weren't as favorable some of the other data points in this area, such as its nursing hours data. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 89.49772 percent of its residents. We would like to see some improvement in this area next year. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
