East Meadow, New York is a small city with 38,132 people. It features only one nursing home, which is fewer than we were hoping for. Unfortunately, this facility was awarded an overall grade of D, which is a very weak grade. This grade is just about as bad as it gets and certainly raises some major red flags. We really don't have many positive things to say about this place, but it did receive a surprisingly strong inspection score. You can continue reading to find out about this.
While its overall rating was terrible, we actually awarded this city's nursing home a B+ for our inspections rating. This category clearly was not the reason for this nursing home's concerning overall grade. Inspection grades are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. The second highest grade we gave this city in any area was its long-term care score, where it received a B-. In the last two categories, this place received rock bottom grades for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively.
