Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we gave this facility a B in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our higher grades. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 95.12472 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. There are quite a few factors within this grade. Many of the criteria are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to our final area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in our short-term care category. This was the facility's least impressive category grade. Unfortunately, this grade hurt the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.5 percent of its patients returning home.

Alameda Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: A-minus

In Alameda Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare, 4.77% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: A

In Alameda Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare, 1.13% of Patients had Serious Falls

This is a measure of the percent of long-term residents who sustained a fall which resulted in major injury. Falls can happen for a variety of reasons, but high rates of falls resulting in injuries may be an indication of lower levels of patient supervision.

In Alameda Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare, 0.12% of Patients had UTIs

This is the percentage of patients that have had a urinary tract infection. UTI's are considered by many experts to be an indicator of nursing care .

Grade: B-minus

In Alameda Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare, 16.12% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This metric gauges the percent of long-term residents who are given antipsychotic medication. Increased usage of these drugs may mean that a facility is using these medications to subdue residents in situations where such medications aren't medically required.

Appropriately Uses Anti-Anxiety Medication

Grade: A

In Alameda Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare, 11.35% of Patients use Anti-Anxiety Medication

This figure gauges the percentage of long-term residents that are administered antianxiety medication. These medications are generally used to treat patients experiencing anxiety and depression.

This tells you the number of times residents are hospitalized per thousand days of care.
