Massapequa, New York is a small city with 53,804 people. It has only one nursing home, which is less than we were hoping for. We awarded the city's lone nursing home a grade of C, so it may be worth looking at. This grade is not necessarily the end of the world, but it is definitely below average by national standards. The best part of this place's profile was its stellar inspection rating. We discuss inspections in the following paragraph.
This city's nursing home received a somewhat average overall grade, however, we really wanted to point out its nearly perfect health inspections in recent years. We gave it an elite grade of A+ in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility also received one of our better grades in our long-term care category, where it received a B. Finally, we gave Massapequa terrible grades for our nursing and short-term care categories respectively.
