With 33,458 people, New Smyrna Beach, Florida is a relatively small city. Unfortunately, there is only one nursing home there. We were relieved to discover that, this place's sole nursing home received an excellent grade of A, so at least there is one great option. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Sanford. With Sanford receiving a terrible city grade, we found the nursing home in New Smyrna Beach to be rated much higher than most of the facilities in Sanford. While this looks like a fine option, we would not blame you if you want to explore nursing homes in other cities.
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this city's lone nursing home performed spectacularly well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This city also received an impressive grade of A in the area of short-term care. Rounding out its first-rate profile, New Smyrna Beach earned grades of A- and B+ for our long-term care and nursing areas respectively.
