By way of comparison, we awarded the nursing homes in the nearby city of Suffolk a city grade of C, which is a well below average grade. While the two cities were relatively close, we found the facilities in Hampton to be a slightly better option. Finally, this city's nursing homes received consistent grades in all four of the major categories. More information about these categories can be found below.
Despite receiving a fairly ordinary overall grade, this city's nursing homes performed remarkably well in our inspections category. In fact, some of its facilities received almost perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, Hampton received one of our highest scores in that area with an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. In addition, the city earned a grade of B for our short-term care category. In the last two categories, we awarded the city middle of the pack grades for our long-term care and nursing categories.
