Pasco, Washington is a relatively small city with 68,191 people. It features just one nursing home, which is less than we were hoping for. This facility earned an overall grade of C, so it may be worth looking at. This grade is below average by national standards. One of the highlights of this facility's profile is its impressive nursing grade, which is addressed in the next section.
While this city's sole nursing home received a middle of the road overall grade, its nursing rating is better than its overall grade. We gave it one of our better grades in this category with a B+. The nursing rating is based on quite a few factors, but the paramount one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This city received its second best grade in the area of inspections. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a decent grade. In our final two categories, the city received a B- for its short-term care grade and a grade of D in the area of long-term care. Even with an otherwise decent profile, a long-term care grade in this range may be an issue for some people.
