Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this facility an A- for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than its overall grade. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also received high marks in the area of long-term care, with first-rate score of A- in this area. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 93.68132 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third highest area we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most critical for residents in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's weakest category is nursing, which is the last category we analyzed. In this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Grade: A

In Estrella Health and Rehab Center, 11.03% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This figure is a measure of the percent of long-term stay patients which were prescribed antipsychotic drugs. High levels of antipsychotic drug use may mean that a nursing home is using these drugs to subdue residents in scenarios where such drugs aren't medically indicated. However, some nursing homes may need to rely more on these medications due to an increased number of patients suffering from dementia.
