Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall rating, this nursing home earned an A+ inspection score. This is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a fine short-term care score. This actually is this facility's second best category score. In that category, this facility received a score of A. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Oregon in this area with 67.1 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a favorable long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B in this area. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the elite quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff at this facility, we also were impressed by the facility's vaccination record. For example, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 99.32886 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this nursing home was awarded a highly favorable nursing grade. Even though this is not as impressive as some of its other category grades, this is still one of our more impressive grades we offer. In computing a facility's nursing grade, we consider the amount of time nurses are caring for patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This place provides an incredible 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is much better than what is offered by most facilities. Lastly, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average.
