While we not raving about either city, we found the facilities in New Castle to be slightly better. Fortunately, we were able to find multiple above average facilities here.

While its overall grade was not elite, the nursing homes in New Castle performed remarkably well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This city's next best category is long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B- in this area. In the last two categories, the city earned grades of B- and D for our short-term care and nursing areas respectively. In spite of an otherwise respectable profile, a nursing score this poor may be a bad sign for levels of nurse staffing.
