A grade of this caliber suggests we found some red flags. Keep in mind that Arlington received a city grade of B-, so should look at other options in the city as well.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Even though we didn't rate this facility favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its relatively favorable short-term care rating. We gave it a B in this category, which was much better than its overall grade. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We actually gave this nursing home a very solid score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is better than many nursing homes in this category. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next most favorable category is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this category. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.333336 percent of its patients. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to the fourth area, this nursing home did not perform very well here either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Our nursing score features several subcategories. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This facility provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This place also had terrible marks in several of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than double the national average in this datapoint. This is concerning when you consider that so many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of receiving a very weak nursing rating.
