Laconia, New Hampshire offers only three nursing homes to choose from, so you have relatively limited options. The nursing homes in this city received an excellent city grade of A-. Even with only a few facilities, this is still a great achievement. In fact, this place's city grade was even better than the city grade of facilities in the nearby city of Derry. This is particularly impressive in light of the fact that we awarded those facilities in Derry a city grade of B+, which is actually a very strong score in its own right. This place's strong profile was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection reports, which we will address in the next paragraph.
As mentioned above, this city's nursing homes received a strong overall grade, but we also wanted to emphasize that some of its nursing homes received nearly perfect health inspections the past few years. We gave Laconia an impressive grade of A+ for this area. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. In addition, Laconia earned a B+ for our nursing category. Rounding out its quality profile, the city earned strong grades for our long-term care and short-term care areas as well.
