With 95,906 people, Winter Haven, Florida is an average size city. Surprisingly, there are just 4 nursing homes there, which is not quite as many as we expected in a city of this size. We awarded this relatively small group of nursing homes a city grade of B, which is a perfectly respectable rating. This is as good or better than the city grade of most of the cities in the United States. We were also pleased to find that this place didn't have any poor grades in any of the major categories discussed below. Additional information about its category grades is available in the next paragraph.
To pair with its great overall grade, we awarded this city an A- in our inspections category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. The city earned a B+ for the city's long-term care rating. Wrapping up its quality report card, Winter Haven received strong grades in our nursing and short-term care categories as well.
