Facility Inspections
On top of being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home performed well in our inspections category, where it earned a grade of A+. Very few nursing homes performed as well in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
Compounding its strong performance in other areas, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care rating. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This place boosted its grade in this area by providing more than one and a half times as many hours of physical therapy to its residents than a typical nursing home. The last measure we looked at 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 60.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. In computing our nursing grades, we factor in both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This place fared well in some of the quality measures we assessed. For example, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided with better nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was long-term care. In this category, we gave this nursing home a favorable grade of B. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. The last statistic we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 2.31 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
