Nurse Quality
In addition to a phenomenal overall grade, this facility also received A+ nursing grade. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provides an incredible 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is much more care than what is provided by most places. Finally, this facility was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we assessed in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Short-term Care Quality
On the list of its many impressive scores, this nursing home was awarded a strong short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in that category. Our short-term care scores are vital for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. This facility performed much better in the final datapoint we assessed in this category, which was the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in California in this area with 57.2 percent of its residents returning home. At most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
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. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a B-. This is this nursing home's worst area. This is nevertheless not a terrible score. In forming our long-term care ratings, we assess the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of impressive nursing hour statistics, this facility's vaccination records are fairly strong also. In fact, this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.78 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
