Oasis Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

This nursing home received an inspection grade which is stronger than its overall score. Inspection grades are based on a facility's recent government inspections. We awarded this nursing home a very solid grade of B+ in this category. Inspection ratings are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

The second highest area we gave this facility in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours those nurses worked with residents, in calculating our rating in this category. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

The next category we analyzed is short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that area. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most important for individuals needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this facility provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical nursing home. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.
