With a population of 84,349 people, Bloomington, Illinois is an average size city. Surprisingly, there are only 4 nursing homes there, which is not quite as many as we expected in a city of this size. With a city grade of B-, you should be able to find a solid nursing home in the city. This is just about average by national standards, which is nothing to be ashamed of. One of the better aspects of this city's report card is its nursing homes' strong inspection reports, which is addressed in the following section.
It should also be noted that this city's inspection grade outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave Bloomington a grade of B for its inspection rating, which is one of our higher scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. The city also received an impressive nursing score where it received a grade of B in this category. Rounding out its profile, this place received grades of B and D for our short-term care and long-term care categories respectively. Even with an otherwise impressive profile, a long-term care grade of this caliber may be an issue for some prospective residents.
