Nursing Homes in Chestertown, Maryland

Chestertown, Maryland offers only three nursing homes to choose from, which is a limited selection. This place's nursing homes were given a solid city grade of B-. By way of comparison, we awarded the nursing homes in the nearby city of Essex a city grade of C, which is a well below average grade. Although the two cities were relatively close, we found the facilities in Chestertown to be a slightly better option. One of the best aspects of this city's profile is its remarkable inspection reports, which is addressed in the next section.

Despite receiving a fairly ordinary overall grade, the nursing homes in Chestertown performed extremely well in our inspections category. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received nearly perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded Chestertown one of our highest grades in that category with an A. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. In addition, the city also earned one of our better scores in our short-term care category, with a B+. In the last two categories, this place received a B- for its nursing grade and a C in long-term care.
