With 10,085 people, Clinton, Indiana is a small city. There are only 2 nursing homes there, which doesn't give you too many options. This place's nursing homes were given a city grade of B-. We actually found this city grade was better than the grade we gave the nearby city of Danville. With Danville receiving a terrible grade, Clinton certainly appears to be a better bet. The best part of this city's profile is its nursing homes' remarkable inspection ratings. We discuss inspections in the next section.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city performed especially well in our inspections category. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received virtually flawless inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded Clinton one of our best grades in that area with an A-. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. In addition, the city earned a B for the city's short-term care rating. In the last two categories, Clinton earned a B- for nursing and a grade of C for long-term care.
