With 6,718 people, Flora, Illinois is a small city. There are only 2 nursing homes there, which doesn't provide you with too many options. We gave the nursing homes here city grade of C, which isn't quite as strong of a grade as we like. Nationally, most cities received a higher score than this place. One of the best aspects of this city's profile is its stellar inspection reports, which we will address in the following paragraph.
This city's nursing homes received a somewhat average overall grade, however, we really would like to point out that some of its facilities virtually perfect health inspections the past few years. We awarded it an impressive grade of A- in this category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. In addition, the city earned a B for our nursing category. In our final two categories, we gave the city grades of B- and F for our short-term care and long-term care areas respectively. Even with an otherwise respectable profile, a long-term care score in this range may be concerning for some prospective residents.
