There are only 2 nursing homes located in Endicott, New York, providing for a population of 44,264 people. We awarded the nursing homes here a top-notch city grade of A-. Even with only a few nursing homes, this is still quite an accomplishment. By way of comparison, we awarded the nursing homes in the nearby city of Wilkes Barre a city grade of C, which is a below average grade. Clearly, we found the facilities in Endicott to be on a whole other level than the ones in Wilkes Barre. Lastly, Endicott is also one of the 500 best cities in the country.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, many of the facilities in Endicott performed extremely well in terms of its inspection grade. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received nearly perfect inspection reports this year. As a result, we awarded Endicott one of our best grades in that category with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. In addition, Endicott performed extremely well in the area of nursing as well. As a result, we awarded Endicott an A- in this category. Rounding out its report card, the city received a B+ for short-term care and a B for long-term care. This place did not have any weak links as far as we could tell.
