Newark, Ohio offers only three 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. Surprisingly, this place's city grade was a bit better than the city grade of facilities in the nearby city of Lancaster, which received a terrible city grade. We would advise you to be very selective in either city. The best part of this place's report card was is its inspection reports. Inspection reports are discussed in the next paragraph.
This city's most impressive category grade was in the area of inspections. In this area, we gave Newark a grade of B+. Our inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Inspections appears to be Newark's next best grade. It received a C in this area. In the last two categories, the city received a C for its nursing score and a grade of D in the area of long-term care. Despite otherwise respectable category grades, this place's weak long-term care grade could be an issue for many prospective residents.
