Elkton is a city with a population of 44,471 people. There are 2 nursing homes in the city to choose from.
While its overall score was abysmal, the facilities in Elkton performed decently in short-term care. We awarded them a B- for that category. Short-term care ratings are critical for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We also wanted to acknowledge the city's respectable government inspections the past few years. In fact, we awarded them a grade of C in this category. In the other categories we looked at, Elkton received grades of C and F for our nursing and long-term care categories respectively. In spite of an otherwise respectable performance, this place's poor long-term care grade could be a concern for many prospective residents.
