With just two nursing homes in the city, you only have a couple of options to choose from in Shorewood, Illinois. These nursing homes here earned this city a good city grade of B. This is an average city grade nationally, which is nothing to be ashamed of. The best aspect of Shorewood's strong report card is its nursing homes' inspection reports. Inspection grades are discussed in the next paragraph
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, the nursing homes in Shorewood performed extremely well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded its facilities an A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. In addition, the city also really excelled in the area of short-term care, where it received an A-. In our final two categories, the city were awarded a B- for nursing and a grade of D in the area of long-term care. Obviously, long-term care proved to be this city's weakest category, but a single bad category grade shouldn't shape your entire perception of the city.
