Palatine, Illinois offers just three nursing homes to choose from, which is a limited selection. This place's nursing homes were awarded a decent city grade of B-. For comparison's sake, we also assessed the facilities in the nearby city of Streamwood, which received a city grade of C. We found Palatine to be a better option. This city's profile was also consistent as it did not receive a single weak category grade either. You can read more about these in the next paragraph.
We wanted to note that this city's inspection rating was better than its overall grade. In fact, we gave Palatine a grade of B+ for its inspection grade, which is one of our better scores. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. In addition, Palatine earned a grade of B in our nursing category. Finally, Palatine earned a B- for long-term care and a B- in the area of short-term care.
