Nursing Homes in Ithaca, New York

With four nursing homes in the city, you only have a couple of choices in Ithaca, New York. We awarded this relatively small group of nursing homes a city grade of B-, which is a decent grade. This is just about average by national standards, which is perfectly respectable. This city's profile was also consistent as it did not receive a single weak category grade either. You can learn more about these in the next paragraph.

This city's overall grade was propped up by its health inspections in recent years. We gave the city one of our higher scores in this category, with a B+. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. The next best score we gave Ithaca in any category was its nursing score, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Finally, we gave the city a B- for its short-term care rating and a B- in the area of long-term care.
