Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Neither this facility's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best category was long-term care, but even there we gave it a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.8024 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an F. Our nursing score assesses several datapoints, however, the main one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

This nursing home received really poor government inspections in recent years, causing us to give them an F in our inspection category. An F in this area is usually a signal that there were some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We recommend you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we also want to point out that this facility was assessed large government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This often suggests that a facility's poor track record has been an issue for several years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we scored was short-term care. This nursing home received a very poor grade of F in that category. Our short-term care scores are probably most important for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With a grade of this caliber for this area, we were not stunned to learn this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing metrics we focus on. It supplied significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.4 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.

Grade: A-plus

In Pasadena Nursing Center, 96.15% of Resident
