Tucker is a city with a population of 35,921 people. There are 2 nursing homes there to choose from.
While its overall grade was awful, we awarded Tucker a B in the area of long-term care. This category obviously was not the reason for this city's alarming overall grade. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Surprisingly, we also awarded Tucker a respectable grade of B- for our inspections rating. Lastly, we gave Tucker grades of C and D for our nursing and short-term care areas respectively. Even with an otherwise impressive performance, this city's weak short-term care score may be a problem for prospective residents who need rehabilitation services.
