Newark, Ohio offers only five nursing homes to choose from, so you don't have too many options to choose from. These facilities did not really stand out from a quality perspective either. The city was given a city grade of C, which is not one of our better grades at the city level. It looks like most cities received a B or higher, leaving Newark on the wrong side of average. The best part of this place's report card is is its inspection reports. Inspection reports are discussed in the following paragraph.
This city's overall grade was propped up by its favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in this area, with a B+. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Newark's next best category was short-term care, where we gave it a B- in this category. In the last two categories, the city received a grade of C for nursing and a grade of D in the area of long-term care. Despite otherwise respectable category grades, this city's weak long-term care rating may be a problem for many people.
