Valley Cottage, New York has just two nursing homes to choose from, which is not a ton of options. This relatively small group of nursing homes in this city received a solid city grade of B-. This is right about in the middle of the pack by national standards, which is nothing to be ashamed of. One of the major highlights of this city's report card is its remarkable inspection rating, which we will address in the following paragraph.
While its overall score was fairly ordinary, we awarded this city's nursing homes an A for our inspections rating. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. The city also earned one of our better grades in the area of long-term care, with a grade of B. Lastly, the city received a C for short-term care and a grade of D for nursing. In spite of an otherwise respectable profile, a nursing rating of this caliber may be an ominous sign for nursing staffing levels.
