    NursingHomeIQ Analysis

    Summary

    Public records indicate this facility has registered nurse staffing levels significantly below the state average and a history of high-severity inspection findings and federal fines.

    Detailed Analysis

    The data for this facility indicates a profile characterized by significant regulatory oversight and lower-than-average staffing levels. Records show 0.23 hours of registered nurse care per resident per day, which is approximately 65% lower than the California state average of 0.65 hours. Total nursing care, including licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants, stands at 3.51 hours per resident per day, compared to the state average of 4.51 hours. During weekend periods, total nursing care decreases to 3.24 hours, and registered nurse care drops to 0.17 hours, suggesting a reduction in professional clinical coverage on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Inspection records reflect a high volume of health findings. In the two most recent survey cycles, investigators documented 58 total health-related issues, including multiple instances categorized as 'Immediate Jeopardy,' indicating situations where resident health or safety was at risk. Specific findings include failures to implement complete care plans and delays in reporting suspected abuse or neglect to the proper authorities. Additionally, fire safety records show 30 uncorrected findings, including issues with emergency training and family notification plans. While the facility received high marks in clinical quality measures, its low health inspection score and multiple federal penalties, totaling over $145,000, suggests challenges in maintaining consistent regulatory compliance.

    Key Findings

    Registered nurse staffing levels of 0.23 hours per resident per day are lower than the California state average of 0.65 hours.

    Public records documented three 'Immediate Jeopardy' level findings during the most recent inspection cycle, the highest severity level for health safety.

    The facility has been assessed $145,677 in federal fines and two periods of payment denials by the government over the last three years.

    Performance Trends (24 months)

    This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

    Staffing Deep Dive

    Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
