Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a great overall score, this nursing home performed even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the nursing home's recent government inspection reports. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for this area, which is one of our highest scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given a favorable short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher grades in that area with a grade of B+. Our short-term care scores are probably most critical for patients requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. This proved to be more of a strength for this facility. It performed as well as just about any nursing home in California with 61.9 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. The nursing score consists of quite a few subcategories, but the main one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is an impressive figure which typically leads to better quality care. Lastly, this place was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we assessed in this category. It performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the final category, this nursing home received an acceptable long-term care score of C. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the amount of services provided by a facility, as opposed to more sophisticated services. One of the factors we considered after this facility's above average nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. This combination proved to be successful as this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
