Pasco, Washington is a relatively small city with 68,191 people. It has only one nursing home, which is less than we were hoping for. We gave the city's lone nursing home a grade of C, so it may be worth considering. This grade unfortunately ended up on the wrong side of the national average. One of the best aspects of this facility's report card is its exemplary nursing rating, which we will address in the next paragraph.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city's nursing home performed extremely well in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it one of our best grades in that area with a grade of A+. Nursing grades are mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. Pasco's second best category was inspections, where it received a grade of C. In our final two categories, Pasco earned grades of C and D for our short-term care and long-term care categories respectively. Even with an otherwise decent profile, a long-term care grade of this caliber may be concerning for some people.
