Woonsocket, Rhode Island is an average size city with 41,186 people. It features just 4 nursing homes, which doesn't give you too many choices. The small group of nursing homes in this city received a city grade of C, which is not a great grade at the city level. Nationally, most cities received a higher score than this city. One of the highlights of this place's profile is its nursing homes' strong inspection scores, which is addressed in the next section.
This city's overall grade was propped up by its favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded the city one of our higher scores in that category, with a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. This city earned its next highest score in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-, which is also a decent grade. In our final two categories, we gave Woonsocket a C for its nursing rating and a C in the area of short-term care.
