This rating is often a fair measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Oregon in this area with 73.7 percent of its residents returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term patients are able to return home.

Among this facility's other strengths is its elite nursing grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Out of that total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of care, this nursing home was also above average in several of the major quality-based metrics we assessed in this category. It performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care, which proved to be a weak spot for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a D in our long-term care category, leaving this as the nursing home's worst grade. We'd nevertheless recommend that you consider all of a nursing home's grades. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to offering favorable levels of nursing care, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 95.87629 percent of its patients. These scores are obviously more impressive than several of its other marks in the category. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
