Oak Hill Care Center

With an address in Jones, Oklahoma, Oak Hill Care Center is the lone nursing home located in the city. Featuring an overall score of F, we consider this to be a very poor facility. As far as we can see, you'd be better off to steer clear of this facility. We would not blame you if you are ready to stop reading and find another nursing home. However, if you want to learn more about this facility's category grades, nursing grades are discussed in the next section.

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it didn't perform as poorly in the area of nursing. We awarded it a B- for that area. The nursing grade includes a handful of factors, most of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home averages just 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

As it turns out, its government inspection reports were not the source of this facility's rock bottom overall grade. In fact, it received a C in this category. Our inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories J through L. This means inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to put patient health or safety in immediate harm or jeopardy. Another red flag is that CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

This nursing home also didn't fare poorly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we gave it a C in that category, which is another one of its more favorable scores. With our short-term care assessment, we strive to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 19.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

The next area we looked at is long-term care. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home gave the vaccine to just 63.492065 percent of its patients. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.28 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is also a cause for concern.
