With 184,039 people, Woodbridge, Virginia is a fairly large city. Surprisingly, there are only 2 nursing homes there, which is fewer than we expected in a city of this size. We gave this small group of nursing homes a city grade of B, which is a very solid rating. This is as good or better than the city grade of most of the cities in the nation. The best part of Woodbridge's impressive report card was its nursing homes' inspection scores. Inspection grades are discussed in the next section
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, many of the facilities in Woodbridge performed especially well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of its facilities received almost perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded it one of our best ratings in that category with an A-. Inspection ratings are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. The city also excelled in the category of government nursing with a B+. Wrapping up its report card, Woodbridge earned grades of B and D for our short-term care and long-term care areas respectively. For the most part, this city's category grades were very strong, but its poor long-term care grade may indicate some staffing shortages.
