Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is it received a very impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In that area, we gave this nursing home an A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a impressive short-term care score. This actually ended up being this facility's second best category score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. In crafting these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients 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 67.6 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
