York Manor Nursing Home

York Manor Nursing Home is a small non-profit facility located in Muskogee, Oklahoma. We awarded this facility an overall grade of B. A grade in this range requires solid marks in most areas. Indeed, this is better than many of the facilities in Muskogee. Fortunately, this nursing home didn't have any weak links in any of the four major categories. Additional information about these categories can be found below.

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also received first-rate health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in this category, with an A+. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility performed well in the category of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a score of A+ for that area, which happens to be one of our best grades. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 96.27329 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. The last datapoint we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had 3.66 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this admittedly wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this area, this number can be skewed for some nursing homes due to some of the preexisting medical conditions of residents.

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of C in this category is by no means a bad score. Nursing ratings are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. According to its CMS reports, this facility provided an average of 4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which was above the national average. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as minimizing major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this datapoint. Avoiding serious falls is generally a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls can be prevented if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

The next area we scored was short-term care. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
