Places with better grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety.

Among its many impressive grades, this nursing home was given first-rate short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in that category. Short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home excelled at the highest level in two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered about 50% more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than a typical nursing home. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 53.8 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. Our nursing score is mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This place boasts a really impressive 6.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, of which a significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the number of its residents suffering falls resulting in serious injury, this place performed as well as any facility California.

In the last category, this facility also received a very strong long-term care score, with an A-. This topped off an elusive straight A profile. For patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 91.89189 percent of its patients. This is a few points lower than we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
