Nurse Quality

Finally, we also looked at 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 often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a patient at least once a day.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in inspections. We gave it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best grades. This is one of the few nursing homes with an overall score in this range which earned multiple category grades this high. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.
