Nurse Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ for nursing. Our nursing score looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provided 5.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is among the highest figures in the country. A significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. We are really impressed by both of these statistics. On top of offering impressive levels of care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With less than 5 percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any place the country in this category. This is often an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by offering better nursing care and having a system of turning residents more often.
Facility Inspections
This facility has also received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor dings aren't something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
In the next category we analyzed, this facility was given quality marks in the area of short-term care. For this reason, it was given one of our highest scores in that area with a of A+. With our short-term care score, we endeavor to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This facility offered more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. The last item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients 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 57.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed ended up being this nursing home's poorest category. Nevertheless, even its worst category would be a strength for most nursing homes. In fact, we gave it an above average grade of B in long-term care. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids.

Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.12 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
