Nursing Homes in Litchfield, Illinois

With a population of 8,930 people, Litchfield, Illinois is a relatively small city. There are just 2 nursing homes there, which does not give you too many options to choose from. The small group of nursing homes here received a city grade of C, which is not a strong score at the city level. We actually found this city grade to be better than the grade we gave the nearby city of Granite City. With Granite City receiving a terrible grade, Litchfield appears to be a better option. The best part of this place's report card is its nursing homes' remarkable inspection reports. Inspection grades are discussed in the following paragraph.

Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, the nursing homes in Litchfield performed especially well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of its facilities received nearly perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, Litchfield received one of our highest scores in that area with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. In addition, the city earned a grade of B+ in our long-term care category. In our final two categories, we awarded the city alarmingly low grades in our nursing and short-term care categories respectively.
