We gave the nursing homes here a city grade of C, which isn't quite as strong of a grade as we like. We also assessed the facilities in the nearby city of Elmwood Park, which received a city grade of F. While we not writing glowing reviews about either city, we found the nursing homes in Niles to be a better bet. Please continue reading to find more information about how this city's nursing homes performed in our category grades.
This city's overall grade was propped up by its government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. This city earned its second highest score in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-, which is also a decent grade. Finally, the city earned a B- in our nursing category and a grade of D in long-term care. Despite otherwise respectable category grades, this place's weak long-term care score may be concerning for many people.
