With 33,269 people, Derry, New Hampshire is a small city. There are only 2 nursing homes in the city, which doesn't provide you with too many options to choose from. With a city grade of B-, you should be able to find a decent nursing home in the city. This is comparable with most of the cities in the United States. The best part of this place's profile is its nursing homes' remarkable inspection scores. We discuss inspections in the next section.
This city's nursing homes received a fairly ordinary overall grade, but we really would like to emphasize that some of the nursing homes in the city nearly perfect health inspections in recent years. We awarded it an elite grade of A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. In addition, the city also excelled in the category of government long-term care with a grade of B. 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 decent profile, a nursing rating in this range may be a bad sign for nursing staffing levels.
