There are 5 nursing homes in Newton, Iowa, providing for a population of 20,417 people. We awarded this small group of nursing homes a city grade of B, which is a perfectly respectable rating. We also assessed the facilities in Marshalltown, which received a city grade of B-. While this is a decent score, Newton appears to be a better bet. This place's strong profile was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection ratings, which is addressed in the next section.
To go along with its great overall grade, we awarded Newton an A- in our inspections category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. In addition, we also wanted to point out that we gave the city a grade of A- for our nursing rating. Finally, this place received a B+ for short-term care and a C in long-term care.
