Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Not many facilities fared better in that category. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a strong short-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this area. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in California in this area with 58.8 percent of its residents returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Nursing grades are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides an impressive 4.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a higher quantity of nursing than that offered by most nursing homes. Lastly, we also factored some quality measures into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is long-term care. This nursing home received a B- in the area. With our long-term care assessment, we focus more on the amount of care offered by a facility, as well as a few quality measures. On top of offering above average levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This statistic is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 3.14 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this statistic may be skewed for some facilities due to the medical complexity of patients.
