Gresham, Oregon is a medium size city with 77,581 people. It has only 4 nursing homes, which is fewer than we expected in a city of this size. We awarded the nursing homes in this city an excellent city grade of B+. Even with only a couple of nursing homes, this is still a great sign. We also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Vancouver, which which also appears to be a decent option. Nevertheless, we found the facilities in Gresham to be rated a bit higher than the ones in Vancouver. This city's report card was also consistent as it did not receive a single poor category grade either. You can read more about these in the next paragraph.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, most of the nursing homes in Gresham performed especially well in our inspections category. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received almost perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded it one of our highest ratings in that area with an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. Gresham also received one of our better scores in the area of nursing, with a B+. Lastly, we gave Gresham middle of the road grades for our short-term care and long-term care categories.
