Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ short-term care grade. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most critical for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country with 76.2 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.
Nurse Quality
Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Nursing scores are primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 6 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is among the better figures in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. We were very impressed by these statistics. On top of offering impressive levels of nursing care, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering falls resulting in major injury, this nursing home performed as well as any facility Oregon. Preventing major falls is generally an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses and better safety protocols are employed.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also received a nearly flawless government inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that category with a score of A. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is long-term care, which proved to be this facility's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that area. Nevertheless, we would not judge this facility based solely on one weak area, since it received several high-end scores in other categories. Our long-term care ratings are vital for individuals in need of non-healthcare services such as personal care. After considering nursing hours and other staffing provided by this facility, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. Based on its grade in this category, we were surprised to discover that this nursing home performed reasonably well both statistics. Indeed, this facility vaccinated 96.77419 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than many nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
