Stonehenge of Orem

On top of receiving a great overall grade, this facility received an A+ inspection grade. This is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can offer a facility. Inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility performed remarkably in our short-term care rating. We awarded them an elite grade of A+ in this area. Our short-term care grades are important for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

The next category we looked at was long-term care. Contributing to its top-shelf profile, this facility also performed well in that category. In fact, we gave it a grade of of A- in that area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. It does not look like this facility submitted data regarding vaccinations. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

In our final area, we gave this facility a grade of A+ for its nursing rating. This completed a first-rate profile. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses are with residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
