Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care grade. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in California in this area with 56 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home earned excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with an A-. Our inspection ratings are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time the nurses were with residents, in calculating our score in this area. This nursing home averages 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed is long-term care, in which this nursing home received a grade of B-. Although this is its worst category grade, this is still not a poor grade. Our long-term care ratings are crucial for patients looking for personal care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 95.21739 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.53 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
