Canton, Illinois offers just three nursing homes to choose from, which is not a ton of options. We gave this city a city grade of C for an overall score. This is not a great city score. Surprisingly, this place's city grade narrowly surpassed the city grade of facilities in the local city of Pekin, which received an abysmal city grade. We would advise you to be very selective in either city. One of the better aspects of this place's report card is its nursing homes' strong nursing ratings, which we will address in the following section.
It should also be noted that this city's nursing rating outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave Canton a B in this area, which is one of our higher scores. The nursing rating includes a host of subcategories. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. Canton also received one of our higher scores in our short-term care category, with a grade of B. In the other categories we looked at, we awarded the city grades of B- and D for our inspections and long-term care areas respectively. It goes without saying that this city's long-term care rating really dragged down its overall grade.
