We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our short-term care category. Our short-term care ratings are important for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home 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 by employing a protocol of moving a patient more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our last category, we awarded this facility a grade of A for our long-term care rating. This completed an elite profile. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
