There are five nursing homes in West Covina, California, so at least you have a few choices. These nursing homes did not really excel from a quality point of view either. The city received a city grade of C, which is not one of our stronger grades at the city level. We somewhat surprisingly found this city grade was better than the grade we gave the nearby city of Glendora. With Glendora receiving an awful grade, West Covina appears to be a better bet. This place is better in some categories than others, but it didn't have terrible grades in any of the major areas discussed below. More information about these categories can be found in the next section.
While the nursing homes in West Covina received a middle of the road overall grade, its inspection grade is notably better than its overall grade. Due to some of its nursing homes receiving favorable inspection reports this year, West Covina received one of our better grades in this area with a B. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. West Covina received its next best grade in the category of nursing, where we awarded it a B-, which is also respectable. In our final two categories, West Covina received a C for its short-term care score and a grade of C in the area of long-term care.
