With seven nursing homes in the city, you have a fair number of facilities in Anderson, Indiana. These facilities were awarded on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a bad grade, but it isn't as high of a score as we like to see either. For comparison's sake, we also assessed the nursing homes in the nearby city of Noblesville. While we aren't raving about either city, we found the facilities in Anderson to be a better bet. One of the major highlights of this place's report card is its remarkable inspection score, which we will address in the following section.
Despite receiving a fairly ordinary overall grade, the nursing homes in Anderson performed spectacularly well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of its facilities received almost perfect inspection reports this year. As a result, Anderson received one of our highest ratings in that category with an A-. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This city's second highest score came in our short-term care category, where Anderson received a grade of C. In the other categories we looked at, the city earned slightly below average grades for our long-term care and nursing areas.
