Our data for Washington, Pennsylvania is based on just one nursing home we found in the city. Fortunately, its only nursing home received a phenomenal overall grade of A. We also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Pittsburgh, which received an impressive city grade in its own right. However, we found that this facility in Washington is in a totally different league than most of the nursing homes in Pittsburgh. Although this looks like a great option, we would not blame you if you want to explore nursing homes in other cities.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this city's nursing home performed spectacularly well in our inspections category. In fact, it received a nearly perfect inspection report this year. Consequently, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. This nursing home also earned an impressive grade of A- in the area of nursing. Wrapping up its first-rate profile, Washington received grades of A- and B+ for our short-term care and long-term care areas respectively.
