There are two nursing homes in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, so at least you have a few options to choose from. While it only has a couple of nursing homes, this city received a superb city grade of A. For comparison's sake, we also assessed the nursing homes in the nearby city of Norristown. We found the facilities in Ephrata to be in a totally different league than the ones in Norristown. One of the major highlights of this city's exemplary report card is its nursing homes' inspection reports. Inspection grades are discussed in the next section.
As mentioned above, this city received a strong overall grade, but we especially wanted to point out that some of the city's nursing homes received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave Ephrata an impressive grade of A+ in this area. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We also awarded Ephrata an A for our nursing category. Rounding out its straight A report card, this place received a grade of A for long-term care and an A- in the area of short-term care.
