With just three nursing homes in the city, you only have a few options to choose from in Elizabeth, New Jersey. This place's nursing homes received a phenomenal city grade of A-, so what this place lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Union, which received a decent city grade in its own right. Nevertheless, we found the facilities in Elizabeth to be in a totally different league than the ones in Union. This city's impressive profile was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection grades, which you can find in the next section.
As mentioned above, this city received a great overall grade, but we especially wanted to emphasize that some of the city's facilities received nearly perfect health inspections in recent years. We gave Elizabeth an elite grade of A for this area. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. In addition, Elizabeth also performed spectacularly well in our long-term care category, where we gave it an A- for this category. Wrapping up its strong report card, Elizabeth were awarded a grade of B+ for its short-term care score and a grade of B for nursing. This city didn't have any weak links based on our assessment.
