With two nursing homes in the city, you only have a couple of choices in Hollis, New York. We awarded this relatively small group of nursing homes a city grade of B-, which is a decent grade. We also assessed the facilities in the nearby city of Fresh Meadows, which received a city grade of D. While we not writing glowing reviews about either city, we found the nursing homes in Hollis to be a bit better. The best part of this city's report card was its nursing homes' remarkable inspection scores. We discuss inspections in the next paragraph.
This city received a fairly ordinary overall grade, but we really would like to emphasize that some of the nursing homes in the city virtually perfect health inspections in recent years. We gave it an impressive grade of A in this category. Our inspection grades are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. The city earned a B+ in the area of long-term care. In the last two categories, Hollis earned grades of C and D for our nursing and short-term care areas respectively. Despite otherwise strong category grades, this city's weak short-term care score could be a concern for prospective residents who need rehabilitation services.
