With just five nursing homes in the city, you only have a couple of options to choose from in Newport News, Virginia. This small group of facilities were awarded on average an overall grade of B-, which is a solid rating for the city. This is just about average by national standards, which is nothing to be ashamed of. You can continue reading to find more information about how this city's nursing homes were rated in our category grades.
This city received a fairly ordinary overall grade, however, we really would like to emphasize that some of the nursing homes in the city virtually perfect health inspections the past few years. We gave them an elite grade of A- in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. The city also received an impressive nursing rating where it earned a B in this area. Rounding out its report card, we gave the city grades of B and D for our short-term care and long-term care areas respectively. Despite an otherwise impressive profile, a long-term care rating this poor may be concerning for some prospective residents.
