Long-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of elite nursing hour statistics, this facility's vaccination statistics is superb as well. Indeed, this facility vaccinated 99.67532 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.79 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home was just about middle of the pack in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
To complement its dominant assessments in other areas, we awarded this facility a score of A- for our short-term care rating. Short-term care scores are vital for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. This nursing home fared much better in the final metric we looked at in this area, which was the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. It performed as well as just about any facility in California in this area with 66 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also earned excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our best scores in that category, with an A-. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored is nursing, in which this facility was awarded a B. Although this wound up being its lowest category grade, this is nevertheless a good rating. The nursing score analyzes quite a few data points, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 4.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very impressive figure which typically leads to higher quality care. Lastly, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is often a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided with better nursing care and having a policy of regularly turning residents to avoid bed sores.
