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. We gave the city's lone nursing home a grade of B-, which is a a solid grade. We also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Hempstead. We found the facility in Bay Shore to be a better bet than most of the nursing homes in Hempstead. Although this likely is not a bad option, we would not blame you if you want to explore other cities to see what they have to offer.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city's nursing home performed extremely well in our inspections category. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. Consequently, it received one of our best ratings in that category with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. This place also earned a B for our long-term care category. Lastly, Bay Shore received grades of C and D for our nursing and short-term care areas respectively. Despite an otherwise impressive performance, this place's poor short-term care score may be a problem for those looking for rehabilitation services.
