We were able to find only one nursing home in Union, New Jersey. We awarded the city's lone nursing home a grade of B-, which is a a solid rating. This is just about average by national standards, which is nothing to be ashamed of. One of the best aspects of this nursing home's report card is its exemplary inspection score, which we will address in the next section.
While its overall grade was fairly ordinary, this city's lone nursing home performed spectacularly well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility also received one of our better grades in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B in the category. In our final two categories, Union received a grade of B- for its nursing grade and a grade of F in the area of long-term care. In spite of an otherwise respectable performance, this place's weak long-term care score may be concerning for many prospective residents.
