Mcgregor at Overlook

In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes fared as well in this category. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Adding to its strong profile, this nursing home also was given a strong long-term care grade, with a score of A. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 84.946236 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a bit lower than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing grade is primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The last area we analyzed was short-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B+. This wrapped up a very impressive report card. Only a select few nursing homes earned a B+ or better in every category. Our short-term care grades are crucial for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
