    NursingHomeIQ Analysis

    Summary

    Sierra Vista Healthcare presents a profile of consistent, permanent staffing levels and favorable quality measures, contrasted by a health inspection record that remains significantly below both state and chain averages.

    Detailed Analysis

    Data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) reveals a facility with contrasting performance metrics. While the facility maintains a high staffing rating and utilizes zero percent contract or agency staffing, its health inspection history remains a primary area of concern. The most recent inspection cycle recorded 18 findings, including issues related to accident hazards and the failure to provide treatment according to resident preferences. This follows a previous cycle with 23 findings, including two severe citations (Severity G and H) and a total weighted health score of 227.25, which is significantly higher than state norms.

    Staffing data shows 4.17 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the California average of 4.51 hours. However, the facility demonstrates stability in its workforce, reporting zero administrator departures and a total nursing staff turnover rate of 36.4%. Notably, registered nurse turnover is 27.3%, which is lower than the California average of 40.6%. Quality measures for long-stay residents are rated highly, though the facility's overall rating remains at the lowest possible level due to the weight of its inspection history and a recent financial penalty of $12,048. Ownership by Aspen Skilled Healthcare places the facility within a chain that generally averages higher overall ratings (3.5) and fewer health inspection issues (2.9) than this specific location currently demonstrates.

    Key Findings

    The facility received 18 health inspection findings in the most recent cycle, which is higher than the California state average of 15.6 findings.

    There is a 6.6% decrease in total nursing hours provided on weekends compared to weekdays, indicating relatively stable staffing levels throughout the week.

    Records show a total nursing staff turnover rate of 36.4%, with zero contract or agency staff utilized, indicating consistent care provided by permanent employees.

    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.
