Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also earned A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections are nearly perfect. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its top-shelf resume, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for the category. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the country with 67.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our higher grades in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. On top of patient-friendly nursing hour statistics, this facility's vaccination records was top notch as well. In fact, this facility vaccinated 97.44137 percent of its residents against pneumonia. The last statistic we assessed was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. While it had 2.9 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was middle of the road due to it having more complicated patients.
Nurse Quality
The last category we assessed is nursing. This nursing home received an above average nursing grade in our assessment, with a grade of B-. Even though this is not as strong as several of its other grades, this remains a respectable grade for that area. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides an impressive 5.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is one of the higher totals in California. 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 look at these statistics as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
