Fruitvale Healthcare Center is in the densely populated metropolitan area of Oakland, California. We gave this facility an overall grade of B-. A score in this range requires some respectable marks. While there's nothing wrong with a B-, we wanted to point out that Oakland received a city grade of B+ so there are some good options in this city. Lastly, this facility had an ownership change in the last year, so we will need to take a closer look to see how new ownership affects this facility's performance measures.

Facility Inspections
We would like to point out that this nursing home's inspection grade exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a grade of B+ in this area, which is one of our better grades. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through 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 inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a deadly condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. The nursing rating assesses many datapoints, but the paramount one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, this nursing home was awarded a grade of B- for short-term care, which is an acceptable grade. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
