Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, this nursing home received a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is an above average score in this area. The nursing score consists of quite a few factors, however, the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place 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 typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning patients even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Additionally, this facility also was given favorable short-term care scores this year. Indeed, we gave them one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of B+. With our short-term care category, we seek to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of B. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this category. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

In the final category we assessed, this facility received a decent score in the area of inspections as well. We awarded it a score of B for that category. Our inspection ratings are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
