Gladstone Care and Rehabilitation Center

Gladstone Care and Rehabilitation Center is in Glendora, California, a city with 51,180 people. With an overall grade of D, this is a relatively poor nursing home. If you are not satisfied with this facility's rather poor overall grade, you will be pleased to know there are four other nursing homes in Glendora. The only positive thing we can really say about this place is that it didn't receive any F's in in any of the major categories. More information about its category grades is available below.

While we didn't give this facility a good overall score, we actually gave it a relatively strong grade in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid nursing homes that have a long list of deficiencies. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

One of this facility's more favorable category grades came in the category of long-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. In calculating our long-term care scores, we analyze the facility's personal care services. Unfortunately, it appears we are missing some of this facility's data for this category. Without data for this facility, it is challenging to fully assess it in terms of this category.

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Nursing ratings are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This place provides 4.5 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is better than average. In computing our nursing grades, we apply additional weight to hours performed by more highly trained nurses such as registered nurses. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these datapoints. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric.

The last category we graded is short-term care, ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this facility a D in this area. In forming these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Based on its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
