Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our nursing grade consists of a handful of datapoints, but the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility California in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also was given a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this category. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to the third category, this facility also earned a grade of B for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this area. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility 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 figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

In the last category we looked at, we found that this nursing home earned a solid inspection report this year as well. As a result, it received a decent grade in our inspection category with a B-. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
