There are just 2 nursing homes located in Streator, Illinois, providing for a relatively small population of 20,133 people. We awarded this small group of nursing homes a city grade of B-, which is a decent score. By way of comparison, we gave the facilities in the local city of Frankfort a city grade of C, which is a well below average score. Although the two cities were relatively close, we found the facilities in Streator to be a slightly better option. This city was stronger in some categories than others, but it didn't have terrible grades in any of our major categories discussed below. More information about its category grades can be found in the next paragraph.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city performed remarkably well in our inspections category. In fact, some of its facilities received nearly perfect inspection reports this year. As a result, we awarded Streator one of our best grades in that category with an A-. Inspection ratings are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients.

In the last two categories, this place received a B- for its long-term care score and a C in nursing.
