Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this place also earned first-rate health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our best grades in this area, with a grade of A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

This category is typically a meaningful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. We were extremely impressed to find that this facility offers its residents substantially more physical therapist hours than most other nursing homes. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in California in this area with 56.9 percent of its residents returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.

The next area we analyzed is long-term care. We gave this facility one of our higher grades in that category, with a B. This nursing home proved to be very solid in each area we assessed. Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services.

This combination proved to be effective as this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital.
