There are just 3 nursing homes located in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, providing for a relatively small population of 29,602 people. This city's limited supply of nursing homes were awarded a city grade of B. This is as good or better than the city grade of the average city in the country. This city's impressive profile was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection reports, which is addressed in the next section.
One of the reasons this city performed well overall is that many of its facilities fared well in the area of government inspections with a B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. In addition, the city received a B+ in the area of nursing. Finally, we awarded the city a B+ for short-term care and a C for long-term care.
