Facility Inspections
On top of earning a strong overall rating, this facility performed even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the facility's recent government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for this category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded a favorable long-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area with a score of B+. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to elite nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination record was as good as it gets as well. Indeed, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 3.34 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this category, this figure can be skewed for some nursing homes based on the preexisting medical conditions of patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given a strong short-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category with a score of B. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. This facility performed much better in the final datapoint we looked at in this area, which was the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. This place performed as well as just about any facility in California in this metric with 60.5 percent of its patients returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term patients ever return home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we looked at is nursing, where this facility was awarded a grade of B-. Even though this wound up being its lowest category score, this is still not the end of the world. Our nursing rating consists of several components, however, the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. With 4.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this facility surpassed the majority of places. Lastly, we also looked at a few nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home actually excelled in some of these. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is typically a reliable indicator of quality nursing care.
