With a population of 28,825 people, Newtown, Pennsylvania is a relatively small city. There are just 2 nursing homes in the city, which does not give you too many options. Despite only having a couple of nursing homes, this city received an excellent city grade of A+. We found this city grade was even better than the city grade of A- received by the nearby city of Burlington. Both cities have some quality nursing homes, but Newtown appears to be an even better bet. As you might expect, this city has 2 nursing homes that received a grade of A- or better. Few places have more than one nursing home of this quality.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this city performed remarkably well in terms of its inspection grade. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received nearly perfect inspection reports this year. As a result, Newtown received one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. Newtown performed spectacularly well in our nursing category as well. Consequently, Newtown received an A in that area. Wrapping up its straight A report card, this place earned top notch grades for our short-term care and long-term care areas as well.
