Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our nursing score analyzes quite a few subcategories, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This place provided 7.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is among the better totals in Oregon. A significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the more highly skilled levels of nurses. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home actually excelled in some of these. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving residents more often.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's worst category rating. Of course, this category hurt the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. Facilities that don't fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's vaccination rates. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
