Fort Washington, Maryland is a relatively small city with 50,722 people. It features just one nursing home, which is not the selection we were hoping for. This facility was awarded an overall grade of B, which is a good score. This is an average city grade nationally, which is nothing to be ashamed of. This facility's impressive profile was highlighted by its inspection rating, which is addressed in the next section.
This city's sole nursing home received a great overall grade, but we also wanted to point out its nearly perfect health inspections in recent years. We gave it an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home also received one of our higher grades in the area of nursing, where we gave it a B for the category. Rounding out its report card, Fort Washington earned grades of B and D for our short-term care and long-term care categories respectively. For the most part, this place's category grades were strong, but this weak long-term care rating may indicate some staffing shortages.
