Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home fared well in our short-term care category. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of A- for that area, which happens to be one of our best scores. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. It fared as well as just about any nursing home in California in this area with 67.5 percent of its patients returning home. For most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Finally, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the number of its patients sustaining falls which lead to major injury, this facility performed as well as any nursing home in the nation.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is long-term care. We gave this facility a C in that category. Long-term care grades are used to gauge a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. On top of looking at the very solid quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff at this nursing home, we also were happy with the nursing home's record for vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive total. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
