With 7,306 people, Morrison, Illinois is a relatively small city. There are only 2 nursing homes there, which does not provide you with too many options to choose from. We awarded the nursing homes in this city city grade of C, which is not quite as strong of a score as we had hoped for. This score unfortunately is on the wrong side of the national average. The best part of this place's profile was is its inspection grade. We discuss inspections in the next section.
While the nursing homes in Morrison received a decent overall grade, its inspection grade is notably more impressive than the city's overall score. Due to some of its nursing homes receiving strong inspection reports this year, Morrison received one of our better grades in this area with a B+. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. The second highest score we gave this place in any category was its long-term care score, where we gave it a B-. Finally, Morrison were awarded a grade of B- for its short-term care rating and a grade of D in the area of nursing. Even with an otherwise respectable profile, a nursing rating this poor may be an ominous sign for levels of nurse staffing.
