Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that category, with an A+. This is a much better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also earned an excellent nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of B- in this category. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This place provided 8.5 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is among the better totals in California. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. We were impressed by both of these figures. Lastly, we also factored some quality measures into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's third most favorable category was long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. On top of providing high levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. This combination proved to be effective as this place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at is short-term care. For that category, we gave this nursing home a C. With our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
