Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this nursing home's inspection score exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a B+ in this category, which is a quality score. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This place received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ in that category, which is one of our better scores. Our nursing rating is mostly based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place California in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving residents at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third most favorable category was long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this area. In the category of long-term care, we weigh the quantity of care offered by a facility, as opposed to more sophisticated services. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.375 percent of its residents. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to our last area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for the area of short-term care. This was the nursing home's weakest category score. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we were not surprised to find that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we looked at. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this facility's short-term care score.
