There are two facilities in Hackettstown, New Jersey, so at least you have a few options. While it only has a couple of nursing homes, this city received a top-notch city grade of A+. By way of comparison, we gave the facilities in the local city of Plainfield a city grade of A-, which is also a good grade. Nevertheless, we found the facilities in Hackettstown to be a slightly better bet than the ones in Plainfield. Lastly, this city's category grades were just as strong as its overall city grade. You can learn more about these in the next section.
To go along with its great overall grade, we awarded the nursing homes in Hackettstown an A+ in our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. We also wanted to emphasize that we awarded Hackettstown a grade of A in our short-term care rating. Rounding out its straight A profile, this place earned an A in our nursing category and an A- in the area of long-term care.
