Bay Shore, New York is a relatively small city with 62,543 people. The city features only one nursing home, which is fewer than we were hoping for. Fortunately, its only nursing home received a very good overall grade of B+. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Hempstead. With Hempstead receiving a terrible city grade, we found the nursing home in Bay Shore to be rated much higher than most of the nursing homes in Hempstead. Although this looks like a great option, we would not blame you if you want to explore other cities to see what they have to offer.
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this city's lone nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. This facility also earned a B for its nursing rating. In the last two categories, we awarded the city middle of the pack grades for our short-term care and long-term care categories.
