There are two facilities in Cordele, Georgia, so at least you have a few choices. We gave this city a city grade of C based on the quality of its nursing homes. This is not a strong city grade. This grade is not necessarily the end of the world, but it is well below average by national standards. The best part of this place's report card was its nursing homes' stellar inspection reports. We discuss inspections in the following paragraph.
This city received a somewhat average overall grade, but we really wanted to emphasize that some of the nursing homes in the city almost flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an elite grade of A- in this category. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This city's second highest grade was in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of B-. Lastly, we gave the city grades of C and F for our short-term care and nursing areas respectively. In spite of an otherwise respectable profile, a nursing rating this poor may be an ominous sign for nursing staffing levels.
