Long-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our long-term care grade. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. The last statistic we assessed is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 3.47 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this wasn't as impressive as most of its other scores in this area, this statistic can be skewed for some nursing homes due to the preexisting medical conditions of patients.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our inspection scores are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent government inspections. Nursing homes that excel in this area typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the third area, this nursing home also received a score of B for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. Short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in California in this area with 57.5 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our fourth category, we gave this facility a grade of D in nursing. This is the facility's least impressive category rating. Sadly, this grade pulled down the nursing home's overall grade to some degree. There are numerous factors included in this category. Many of the factors relate to staffing levels. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. Although this facility didn't excel in nursing hours, it actually surprised us in a few of the quality-based metrics in the nursing category, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed above average in this statistic, which was one redeeming quality we found in this area.
