There are three nursing homes in Brandon, Florida, which at least gives you a few options. These nursing homes received on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a bad grade, but it isn't as high of a score as we like to see either. This grade is not the end of the world, but it is definitely below average by national standards. This city is better in some categories than others, but it didn't have terrible grades in any of our major areas discussed below. Additional information about its category grades can be found in the next section.
This city's most impressive category grade came in the area of inspections. In that category, we gave Brandon a grade of B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This city's second best category was short-term care, where we gave it a B- in this area. In the last two categories, the city earned a B- for its nursing rating and a grade of C in the area of long-term care.
