Mcgregor at Overlook

Mcgregor at Overlook is a very-small non-profit facility located in Cleveland, Ohio. We gave this nursing home an overall grade of B. A score in this range requires quality marks in most areas. Even in a city featuring 49 other nursing homes, this one turns out to be a quality selection. This place is stronger in some categories than others, but it didn't have any bad scores in any of the major categories discussed below. More information about these categories can be found below.

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility was awarded a strong long-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category with a grade of B+. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 76.76768 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is somewhat below what we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. This facility performed admirably in this metric. Avoiding serious falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

The last area we looked at is short-term care. For that category, we awarded this facility a B-. In our short-term care score, we attempt to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
