Executive
Overview
In 2010, more people were
65 years or older than in any
other previous census.
Most of them will need an
average of three years of
long-term care services.*
WOMEN
3.7 years
MEN
2.2 years
A recent report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
contained a revealing statistic – people who are turning 65 years of age will
need an average of three years of long-term care services at some point in
their lives. While some 65-year-olds may never need long-term care, 20
percent will need it longer than five years.
With 1,100 people turning 65 each day in California, that’s a compelling
reminder of the importance of long-term care and the ability to deliver
services to residents where they need it – whether in the hospital, the
community, at home or in skilled-nursing centers.
Members of the California Association of Health Facilities provide costeffective, high-value, 24-hour skilled-nursing care to 300,000 residents each
year – as a result, 80 percent are discharged within three months.
As we help people return back home, we do so with a single purpose:
to deliver dependable, quality care with an emphasis on attaining the highest
practical level of functioning for the individual.
This report outlines some of our performance achievements.
20% will need long-term
care for more than 5 years.
California providers continue to lead the nation in five quality measure
categories:
•
Reducing depression
•
•
•
•
Reducing urinary tract infections
Preventing a decline in activities
Preventing falls with injury (second in nation)
Preventing weight loss (second in nation)
These accomplishments, and others outlined in this report, reflect the
commitment of 135,000 long-term caregivers to coordinate care, reduce
unnecessary hospital readmissions and transition residents to the most
appropriate setting based on their needs.
As we measure our progress compared to other states, we remain mindful of
our responsibility to address the unique needs and challenges of each of our
residents so they can experience satisfaction, wellness and quality of life.

Measuring Up
Unprecedented Transparency
No other health care entity is more regulated than skilled-nursing
facilities. Licensed by the California Department of Public Health
(CDPH) and certified to provide services to eligible Medicare and
Medicaid beneficiaries, skilled-nursing centers are required to maintain
compliance with federal regulations. The CDPH enforces both state and
federal regulations through unannounced annual surveys and complaint
investigations.
One component of the Nursing
Home Compare website is the FiveStar Quality Rating system. The
rating, which is issued quarterly, is
based on a combination of factors
including nursing home:
•
•
•
Health inspections
Staffing
Quality measures
Consumers seeking to learn about a particular skilled-nursing facility
have access to an enormous amount of web-based information on
Nursing Home Compare. The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) tracks:
Almost two-thirds of all skillednursing home in California – 63
percent – have 4 or 5 star ratings
• Five-Star ratings
•
Inspections and complaints over the last three years
•
Staffing – hours of care per resident

National Leaders in Delivering Quality
Nursing home quality is determined by a performance evaluation of
18 separate quality measures including the presence of pain, pressure
ulcers and whether residents have received pneumonia and influenza
vaccinations. California facilities lead the nation in a number of
categories.

National
Quality
Initiative
In 2012, the federal government
turned the spotlight on
the practice of prescribing
antipsychotic medication to
nursing home residents suffering
from dementia. With a goal of
improving the quality of care
provided to these individuals, the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services initiated the National
Partnership to Improve Dementia
Care in Nursing Homes. The
national goal called for providers
to safely reduce the unnecessary
use of antipsychotic medication by
15 percent by December 2013.
In California, the goal was
reached.
Skilled-nursing providers in
the state have worked hard to
reduce the use of these drugs
even further, and today only 1
in 6 nursing home residents are
prescribed antipsychotics by their
physician.
California providers have
performed better than most
of the nation in reducing the
unnecessary use of antipsychotics.

Established by our national affiliate, the American Health Care Association,
the National Quality Initiative builds on existing work in the long-term care
field by setting specific, measurable targets to further improve quality of care
in America’s skilled-nursing centers.
Safely Reduce the Off-Label Use of Antipsychotics: By December 2013,
reduce the off-label use of antipsychotic drugs by 15 percent. California
achieved this goal in 2013.
Why this is important: Using antipsychotics to treat behavior
associated with dementia is not supported clinically and use of the drugs
increases the risk of death.
Safely Reduce Hospital Readmissions: By March 2015, reduce the number
of hospital readmissions within 30 days during a skilled-nursing stay by 15
percent.
Why this is important: Hospitalization is disruptive to elderly
individuals and places them at greater risk for complications and infections.
Increase Staff Stability: By March 2015, reduce turnover among nursing staff
(RN, LVN, CNA) by 15 percent.
Why this is important: Research shows that happy and satisfied staffs
provide better quality care and contribute to greater quality of life for nursing
home residents.
Increase Customer Satisfaction: By March 2015, increase the number of
customers who would recommend the facility to others up to 90 percent.
Why this is important: Facilities with the highest rates of satisfaction
perform better in staff retention, staff stability, survey results and census.

The American Health Care Association’s National Quality Award Program
provides a pathway for long-term care providers to journey towards
performance excellence. The program is based on the core values and
criteria of the prestigious Baldrige Performance Excellence Program.
Member centers can apply for three progressive levels of awards,
Bronze – Commitment to Quality
Silver – Achievement in Quality
Gold – Excellence in Quality
Each level has its own distinct rigors and requirements for quality and
performance excellence.

There were cheers, congratulations and confetti in
the hallways of Stonebrook Healthcare Center after
employees learned the facility achieved a
Gold National Quality Award – the first ever
in California.
“You have to start with a happy engaged
workforce,” said Lori Cooper, Stonebrook
Healthcare Center administrator. “If you
have happy employees, they are going to
have better relationships with your customers.”
There are 15,000 nursing homes in the U.S. and
just 24 have achieved the highest level of quality
performance with a national Gold – Excellence in
Quality Award. Stonebrook, which is independently
owned, is located in Concord.

What Our
Residents
Are Saying
The best measurement of quality is listening to what families
and nursing home residents have to say about their care.
Juanita Eisenbeis, age 99
Resident of Vienna Nursing and
Rehabilitation Center, Lodi
“Vienna met all our needs and has lived up
to our expectations. Residents are treated
with respect, dignity and love.”
- Charles and (daughter) Mudgie Brent
Jesus Montoya
“With the help of my friends,
my Edgemoor physician and
staff, I began going to school,
and this has helped me a lot.
I would never have been able
to accomplish my dream of
going to school if I were not
at Edgemoor. I received my
bachelor’s in social work and am
currently doing my internship in
a nearby nursing home.”

Edgemoor Hospital, Santee
