Westfield, Massachusetts offers only three nursing homes to choose from, which is not a ton of options. We awarded this small group of nursing homes a city grade of B, which is a perfectly respectable grade. By way of comparison, we gave the nursing homes in the local city of Naugatuck a city grade of C, which is much lower score. Naturally, we found the nursing homes in Westfield to be rated much higher than the ones in Naugatuck. This place's impressive report card was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection ratings, which we will address in the next paragraph.
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded the nursing homes in Westfield an A- in our inspections category. Our inspection ratings are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. In addition, Westfield also fared well in the category of government long-term care with a B+. Rounding out its report card, the city earned a B for its short-term care rating and a grade of B for nursing. We really found Westfield to be very strong in each category we assessed.
