South Elgin, Illinois offers just two nursing homes to choose from, which is not a ton of options. We gave the nursing homes here city grade of C, which isn't as high of a grade as we like. This score is not necessarily the end of the world, but it is definitely below average by national standards. Please continue reading to find more information about how this city's nursing homes were rated in our category grades.
While the nursing homes in South Elgin received a middle of the road overall grade, its inspection grade is better than the city's overall grade. Due to some of its nursing homes receiving favorable inspection reports this year, we gave South Elgin one of our higher grades in that area with a B+. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. South Elgin's second best category was nursing, where it earned a B- in this category. In our final two categories, the city received grades of C and D for our short-term care and long-term care categories respectively. Even with an otherwise decent profile, a long-term care score of this caliber may be an issue for some people.
