Oakland Manor

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of C. Our inspection grades are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This nursing home was hit with 8 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in categories J through L. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to place resident safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Incredibly, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for its short-term care rating, which really isn't too bad of a score. Short-term care grades are typically used to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. The nursing category analyzes quite a few subcategories, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. This place also had terrible marks in several of the quality-based measures to pair with its weak nursing hour totals. For starters, we looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than double the national average in this datapoint.

The last area we scored is long-term care, where this nursing home was given a poor score in this category as well. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 88.23529 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be several points less than the national average. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
