Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its top-shelf profile, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a score of A in the category. Our short-term care scores are believed to be more important for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were extremely impressed to find that this facility offers its residents substantially more physical therapist hours than most other nursing homes. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in California in this area with 71.8 percent of its residents returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. There are many factors included in this grade. Many of the factors relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the highest totals we found. Lastly, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed as well as any facility California in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is long-term care, in which this facility was awarded a B. This actually turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. A facility could be doing a lot worse when their worst grade still outperforms most nursing homes. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. On top of providing well above average levels of nursing care, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. This combination proved to be effective as this facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.12 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a much lower hospitalization rate than the average nursing home.
