This facility boasts a really impressive 4.6 hours of nursing care per patient each day, of which a significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly skilled levels of nurses. This is among the higher totals of nursing hours we were able to find. On top of offering impressive levels of care, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed as well as any facility in California when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

This nursing home also was given an A+ long-term care grade, making it one of the few facilities to be awarded several A+ category grades.

This percentage is also significantly better than the average nursing home. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 1.94 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than most facilities due to it having some more complex patients.

Only a small group of facilities fared better in this area.

These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This nursing home is the gold standard when it comes to skilled nursing staffing. In fact, it offered approximately one and a half times as many physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average nursing home. This is what we look for when assessing a nursing home in this category. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the nation with 64.2 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.

This is one of the few facilities in the nation to receive an A- or better in every single category.

This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
