Nursing Homes in Port Washington, New York

With a population of 30,171 people, Port Washington, New York is a relatively small city. There are only 2 nursing homes there, which doesn't provide you with too many options to choose from. We gave the nursing homes here a superb city grade of A. Even with just a few nursing homes, this is still quite an achievement. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Mount Vernon, which received a city grade of B. As impressed as we were with the nursing homes in Mount Vernon, we found Port Washington to be on a whole other level. Finally, this city's category grades were every bit as impressive as its city grade. You can read more about these in the next section.

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this city performed extremely well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received nearly perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded Port Washington one of our highest ratings in that category with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. We also wanted to emphasize that we awarded Port Washington an A in our short-term care rating. Rounding out its impressive report card, Port Washington earned a B+ for long-term care and a grade of B+ in nursing. This city didn't have any weak links based on our assessment.
