Jurupa Hills Post Acute

Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of B for our inspections category. This score is far better than the facility's overall grade. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

This nursing home's second most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this area. In crafting these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing grade weighs many components, but the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, nursing ratings also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

The last category we analyzed is long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a D in this area. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted vaccination data. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
