With a population of 10,510 people, Catskill, New York is a small city. There are only 2 nursing homes there, which does not provide you with too many choices. This relatively small group of nursing homes here received a decent city grade of B-. This is just about average by national standards, which is nothing to be ashamed of. The best part of this place's report card is its nursing homes' exemplary inspection reports. Inspection grades are discussed in the following section.
While its overall grade was fairly ordinary, we awarded this city's nursing homes an A+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This city's second highest score was in long-term care, where Catskill received a grade of B-. In the other categories we looked at, Catskill received a B- for short-term care and a grade of D for nursing. Even with an otherwise decent profile, a nursing grade of this caliber may be a bad sign for levels of nurse staffing.
