There are just 2 nursing homes located in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, providing for a relatively small population of 30,967 people. Unfortunately, we awarded the nursing homes in this city city grade of D, which is one of our worst grade at the city level. For comparison's sake, we looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Pittston, which also received a city grade of D. Both of these places received forgettable reports from us. We don't have many good things to say about this city's facilities, but they did receive surprisingly impressive inspection grades. You can continue reading to find out about this.
While its overall rating was as bad as it gets, this city's nursing homes performed favorably in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our better grades. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with too many deficiencies flagged. Surprisingly, this city performed decently in the area of nursing as well, where we gave it a grade of B- for this category. Finally, the city received a grade of C in our short-term care category and a grade of D for long-term care. Despite an otherwise decent profile, a long-term care rating this poor may be a problem for some people.
