Nursing Homes in Portsmouth, Virginia

Portsmouth, Virginia is a medium size city with 95,535 people. The city features only 3 nursing homes, which is fewer than we expected in a city of this size. Sadly, we gave the nursing homes in this city city grade of D, which is a very poor grade at the city level. While Portsmouth received an alarming city grade, we were able to find a single nursing home that received a better grade than the others. Even this nursing home was actually below average by national standards. We don't have too many good things to say about this place's nursing homes, but they did receive surprisingly strong inspection ratings. You can continue reading to find out about this.

While its overall grade was abysmal, this city's nursing homes performed much better in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B for that category, which is one of our higher grades. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. Shockingly, the city also received a grade of B in the area of short-term care. Lastly, we gave the city rock bottom grades for our long-term care and nursing areas respectively.
