Woodland Oaks

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Additionally, we awarded this facility a grade of B in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our higher grades. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.16201 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

We also awarded this facility a middle of the pack score in the area of short-term care, with a B-. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is frequently a fair assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. It does not look like this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

This facility's weakest category was nursing, which is the final area we looked at. Sadly, it received an F for this area. Despite a few respectable scores in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
