With five nursing homes in the city, you only have a couple of options in Lancaster, California. These facilities didn't really stand out from a quality point of view either. The city was awarded a city grade of C, which is not one of our stronger grades at the city level. As bad as this grade is, we surprisingly found gave the nearby city of North Hills an even worse score. With North Hills receiving an awful grade, we would advise you to be very selective in either city. Please continue reading to find more information about how this city's nursing homes were rated in our category grades.
While this city's nursing homes received a decent overall grade, its nursing score is notably higher than the city's overall grade. We gave Lancaster one of our higher grades in that area with a B. We assessed the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in determining our score in this category. This city received its second highest score in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-, which is also respectable. Finally, the city were awarded a grade of C for its long-term care grade and a grade of D for inspections. Despite an otherwise excellent profile, an inspections grade of this caliber is still deeply concerning.
