With two nursing homes in the city, there are only a few options in Massena, New York. We gave the nursing homes here city grade of C, which is not quite as strong of a grade as we had hoped for. This score unfortunately ended up on the wrong side of the national average. One of the better aspects of this place's report card is its nursing homes' impressive inspection scores, which you can find in the next section.
This city's nursing homes' overall grade was propped up by its government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in this area, with a B+. Our inspection ratings are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Inspections appears to be this city's second best category. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. In the other categories we looked at, we gave Massena grades of C and D for our nursing and short-term care categories respectively. In spite of otherwise strong category grades, this city's poor short-term care grade may be a concern for prospective residents who need rehabilitation.
