Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we gave this facility an A+. Our nursing grade is based on several components, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This place offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 5 hours per patient each day. This is more nursing care than nearly any other place provides. Lastly, this place also excelled in the quality measures we looked at. For example, it fared as well as any facility California in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We view these metrics as reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on our third area, this top-shelf nursing home also excelled in the category of long-term care. In this area, it received a A+. Only a small group of nursing homes fared better in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. In addition to very favorable nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination records is top notch also. In fact, it vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This combination proved to be effective as this facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.09 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a substantially better hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last category, this facility was awarded a high-end short-term care score. We awarded it an A in this category, rounding out a straight A profile. In forming these short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in California in this area with 67.9 percent of its residents returning home.
