Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care category, where it received a grade of A+. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We were extremely impressed to find that this facility offers its residents substantially more physical therapist hours than most other nursing homes. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in California in this area with 71.6 percent of its patients returning home. At most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Nursing scores are primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is better than what is offered by most facilities. Lastly, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, it fared as well as any nursing home the state when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them a grade of B+ in this category. Our inspection ratings are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final area, this facility also excelled in our long-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ for this category. This completed a first-rate profile. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.06 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
