Cumming, Georgia is a medium size city with 129,584 people. It has just 2 nursing homes, which is not quite as many as we expected in a city of this size. This city's nursing homes received a very good city grade of B+, so what this place lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. In fact, this city's city grade was far better than the city grade of facilities in the nearby city of Snellville. While the nursing homes in Snellville are not terrible, we found Cumming to be on a whole other level. Finally, Cumming has the prestigious distinction of being one of the top ten rated cities in the state of Georgia.
To pair with its great overall grade, we awarded Cumming an A for our inspections category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. We also awarded Cumming a grade of A- for our short-term care rating. Wrapping up its impressive report card, this place earned favorable grades for our long-term care and nursing categories as well.
