Redlands Comm Hosp D/P Snf

In addition to receiving a great overall score, this facility received an A+ for short-term care. In our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 7.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This nursing home also received a nearly flawless government inspection. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with an A+. This is one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Building on its high-end profile, this facility also received a dominant long-term care grade, with a grade of A. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. It doesn't appear that this facility submitted data regarding vaccinations. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

In the final category, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for its nursing rating. This rounded out a first-rate profile. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as good indicators of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
