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 phenomenal city grade of A-, 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 Stone Mountain. While there's nothing wrong with this grade, we found Cumming to be on a whole other level. Topping off a great profile, Cumming is one of the three highest rated cities in all of Georgia.
On top of having excellent nursing homes on the whole, this city really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few cities earned a better grade in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. In addition, we also awarded this city a grade of A- in our short-term care category. Wrapping up its profile, we awarded the city favorable grades for our long-term care and nursing areas as well.
