This city received an inspection score which is better than its overall grade. We gave them a favorable grade of B in this area. Inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. The second best score we gave this city in any category was its nursing score, where we awarded it a B-. Finally, Alton received a grade of C for its short-term care score and a grade of D in long-term care. In spite of an otherwise respectable profile, a long-term care rating in this range may be an issue for some prospective residents.
