There are surprisingly just 4 nursing homes in Orem, Utah, servicing a decent size population of 88,528 people. This city's nursing homes received a world class city grade of A-, so what this city lacks in quantity, it makes up for by having high quality nursing homes. We also assessed the nursing homes in the nearby city of Pleasant Grove, which has some good nursing homes of its own. However, we found the nursing homes in Orem to be rated even higher than the ones in Pleasant Grove. We were so impressed with this city that we ranked it as one of the top 500 cities in the nation.
This city's nursing homes received a great overall grade, but we especially wanted to emphasize that some of the city's facilities received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded Orem an elite grade of A in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. In addition, we also awarded Orem a grade of A- in our short-term care category. Wrapping up its impressive profile, we gave Orem a B+ for its nursing grade and a B for long-term care. We truly found Orem to be very competent in each category we assessed.
