There are three facilities in Lincoln, Illinois, which at least gives you a few options. These nursing homes were awarded on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a bad score, but it is not quite as strong of a grade as we like to see either. This grade is not necessarily the end of the world, but it is definitely below average by national standards. The best part of this city's profile is is its inspection grade. We discuss inspections in the following section.
While this city's nursing homes received a middle of the road overall grade, its inspection grade is higher than its overall score. Due to some of its facilities receiving strong inspection reports this year, Lincoln received one of our higher grades in that category with a grade of B. Our inspection ratings are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This city's next best category was nursing, where we awarded it a B- in this category. In the other categories we looked at, we gave Lincoln grades of C and D for our short-term care and long-term care categories respectively. In spite of an otherwise respectable profile, a long-term care rating in this range may be concerning for some prospective residents.
