Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received a very strong nursing score. This proved to be its best category. In this area, we awarded this facility an A. Nursing grades are primarily tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility California in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving residents even once per day.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our more favorable scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B+. With our short-term care grade, we try to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last category, this nursing home was awarded a strong long-term care score. While this wasn't as strong as many of its other grades, this remains one of our more favorable scores a facility can receive. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 91.24424 percent of its residents, which is a few points below what we were hoping for. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
