Facility Inspections

The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it an A. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility's next most favorable area turned out to be its short-term care score, where it was given a B-. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more meaningful for those needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. 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. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. It performed well in this metric with 58.2 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.

We also awarded this facility a middle of the road grade in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In our long-term care category, we focus on the sheer quantity of services offered by a nursing home, along with a few qualitative statistics. In addition to looking at the very respectable level of care provided by nurses aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were impressed by the nursing home's vaccination data. By way of example, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 97.391304 percent of its residents, which is an impressive total. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Our final category is nursing, in which we gave this facility a grade of C in that area. Nursing scores are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides an impressive 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is among the higher totals in Oregon. Finally, this facility fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home outpaced the national average. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented with better nursing care.
