With a population of 81,147 , Jonesboro, Georgia is a medium size city. Surprisingly, there are just 2 nursing homes in the city, which is fewer than we expected in a city of this size. Unfortunately, these nursing homes did not excel from a quality standpoint. Its nursing homes were given a city grade of D, which is a very poor score at the city level. Surprisingly, this city's city grade was a bit better than the city grade of facilities in the local city of Tucker, which received an abysmal city grade. We would advise you to tread carefully in either city. In spite of all this, this place did just fine in our inspections category, which you can read more about below.
While the city's overall score was as bad as it gets, we awarded this city an A- for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with too many severe deficiencies flagged. The city's next best category is long-term care, where we gave it a D. Finally, Jonesboro received terrible grades for our short-term care and nursing areas respectively.
