With five nursing homes in the city, you only have a few options to choose from in Jacksonville, Illinois. These facilities received on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a terrible grade, but it is not quite as strong of a score as we had hoped for either. This grade is below average by national standards. The best part of this city's profile was is its inspection rating. Inspection grades are discussed in the following paragraph.
This city's overall grade was propped up by its inspections in recent years. We awarded the city one of our higher grades in this area, with a B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. Jacksonville's second best category is short-term care, where it received a B- in this category. Finally, the city earned a grade of B- for long-term care and a C in nursing.
