Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city performed remarkably well in our inspections category. In fact, some of its facilities received nearly perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded Huntingdon one of our highest grades in that category with a grade of A-. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This city's next highest grade was in the area of nursing, where Huntingdon received a B-. In our final two categories, the city were awarded a C in our long-term care category and a grade of D in the area of short-term care. In spite of otherwise respectable category grades, this city's weak short-term care score could be a problem for people looking for rehabilitation.
