With 89,830 people, Woodside, New York is medium size city. Amazingly, there is just one nursing home there. Fortunately, its only nursing home received a superb overall grade of A-. By way of comparison, we awarded the nursing homes in the nearby city of Astoria a city grade of B, which is also an impressive grade. Nevertheless, we found this nursing home in Woodside to be an even better option than most of the nursing homes in Astoria. While this seems like a fine option, we wouldn't blame you if you want to explore other cities to see what they have to offer.
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this city's lone nursing home performed remarkably well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This city also performed extremely well in our short-term care category, where we awarded it an A. In the last two categories, this place received a grade of B+ for its long-term care score and a B- in the area of nursing.
