Awards

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. When determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures 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 place California in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving patients at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received a very strong short-term care grade. Indeed, this is this nursing home's second most impressive category score. In that area, this facility received a grade of A. Short-term care grades are often used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, this facility also excelled in the long-term care category. We awarded it a grade of A- for this category. This finalized a straight A profile. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services.

Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.
