If you aren't deterred by this city's report card, you can continue reading to find out about its category grades. This city's nursing homes surprisingly fared well in inspections for example.
Despite receiving a terrible overall grade, the nursing homes in Pittston performed much better in our inspections category. In fact, many of the nursing homes here received relatively impressive government inspection reports this year. Consequently, Pittston received one of our higher grades in that area with a B+. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of severe deficiencies. Surprisingly, we also awarded this city a respectable grade of B- for its short-term care grade. In the last two categories, we gave the city terrible grades for our nursing and long-term care categories respectively.
