With 30,423 people, Frankfort, Illinois is a small city. Unfortunately, there is only one nursing home there. We awarded the city's sole nursing home a grade of C, so it may be worth looking at. We also assessed the nursing homes in the nearby city of Cicero. With Cicero receiving a terrible city grade, we found the facility in Frankfort to be in a totally different league than most of the nursing homes in Cicero. The best part of this place's profile was is its inspection grade. Inspection reports are discussed in the paragraph below.
We wanted to note that this city's nursing home's inspection score was superior to its overall grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B for its inspection score, which is one of our higher scores. Inspection grades are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. The second best grade we gave this city in any area was its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. Lastly, this place received middle of the road grades for our nursing and long-term care areas.
