Nursing Homes in Derry, New Hampshire

With just two nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of options in Derry, New Hampshire. This relatively small group of facilities were awarded on average an overall grade of B-, which isn't a bad rating for the city. This is comparable with most of the cities in the United States. The best part of this city's report card is its nursing homes' exemplary inspection scores. We discuss inspections in the next section.

While its overall score was fairly ordinary, the nursing homes in Derry performed remarkably well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded the city an A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. In addition, the city also received an impressive long-term care rating with a grade of B+ in this area. In the last two categories, Derry were awarded a B- for short-term care and a grade of D in the area of nursing. Despite an otherwise respectable profile, a nursing grade of this caliber may be a bad sign for nursing staffing levels.
