Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize that this facility received an impressive grade of A for short-term care. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing score is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place California in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving patients even once per day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the last category, we awarded this nursing home an A- for our long-term care rating. This rounded out a very favorable profile. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. After considering the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
