With 66,427 people, Port Orange, Florida is a small city. Unfortunately, there is just one nursing home in the city. We were relieved to discover that its only nursing home received an excellent overall grade of A-. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Sanford. With Sanford receiving a terrible city grade, we found the facility in Port Orange to be rated much higher than most of the facilities in Sanford. In addition, Port Orange is also one of the 500 best cities in the entire country.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this city's sole nursing home performed spectacularly well in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. Consequently, we awarded it one of our highest ratings in that area with an A+. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility also received an elite grade of A in this category. Wrapping up its report card, the city received grades of A- and C for our long-term care and nursing categories respectively. Outside of its nursing score, this city's three other categories were outstanding.
