There are five nursing homes in Yonkers, New York, which at least gives you a few choices. This place's nursing homes were given a decent city grade of B-. By way of comparison, we gave the nursing homes in the local city of Great Neck a city grade of C, which is lower grade. While the two cities were relatively close, we found the facilities in Yonkers to be a slightly better option. One of the major highlights of this place's report card is its remarkable inspection rating, which we will address in the next paragraph.
While its overall grade was somewhat average, this city's nursing homes performed extremely well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. In addition, Yonkers received a grade of B in our short-term care category. Finally, this place earned slightly below average grades for our long-term care and nursing categories.
