We were able to identify only one nursing home in Herndon, Virginia. We were relieved to discover that, this city's sole nursing home received an excellent grade of B+, so at least there is one good option. Herndon has the prestigious distinction of being one of the fifteen highest rated cities in Virginia. The best part of this nursing home's impressive report card was its inspection grade. We discuss inspections in the next section
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this city's nursing home performed remarkably well in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest ratings in that category with an A-. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility also received a strong short-term care grade. We gave it a B+ in that area. Finally, the city received a B+ for its long-term care rating and a grade of B- in nursing.
