Phenix City, Alabama is a medium size city with 59,744 people. The city features only 2 nursing homes, which doesn't provide you with too many options. While this place didn't have a ton of nursing homes, this city's nursing homes received an excellent city grade of B+. In fact, this city's city grade was even better than the city grade of nursing homes in the local city of Columbus. This is especially impressive in light of the fact that we awarded those nursing homes in Columbus a city grade of B, which is actually a very good score in its own right.

To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this city a grade of A for our inspections category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. We also wanted to point out that we awarded Phenix City an A- for our long-term care category. Wrapping up its report card, Phenix City received grades of B+ and D for our nursing and short-term care areas respectively. For the most part, we were pleased with this city's scores, but it didn't perform well in the area of short-term care. This may be an issue for those looking to find a rehabilitation facility here.
