Nursing Homes in Benton, Illinois

With a population of 11,265 , Benton, Illinois is a relatively small city. There are only 3 nursing homes in the city, which does not provide you with too many options to choose from. These nursing homes earned on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a terrible score, but it is not quite as high of a score as we had hoped for either. This score is below average by national standards. Looking at the individual nursing homes in the city, none of them really stood out. That being said, we were still able to find a couple of decent facilities in the city.

While its overall grade was somewhat average, this city's nursing homes performed spectacularly well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This city earned its second highest grade in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a C, which is also a respectable grade. Finally, Benton received a C in our long-term care category and a grade of D in the area of nursing. Although we found most of its grades to be acceptable, this poor nursing score is not a very good sign for levels of nursing staffing.
