There are just 3 nursing homes located in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, providing for a relatively small population of 17,809 people. The nursing homes in this city received a world class city grade of A. Even with only a couple of facilities, this is still quite an accomplishment. This city has the prestigious distinction of being one of the top ten rated cities in Pennsylvania. One of the best aspects of this city's stellar report card is its nursing homes' inspection scores. Inspection grades are discussed in the next section.
On top of having quality nursing homes on the whole, this city's nursing homes really excelled in the area of inspections, where we gave it an A+. Few cities fared this well in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. We also wanted to emphasize that we gave the city a grade of A+ in our short-term care rating. Rounding out its straight A report card, the city were awarded an A- in our nursing category and a grade of A- in the area of long-term care.
