With a population of 11,263 people, Knox, Indiana is a relatively small city. There are just 2 nursing homes in the city, which does not offer you too many options to choose from. This small group of nursing homes received on average an overall grade of B-, which is a solid score for the city. This is just about average by national standards, which is nothing to be ashamed of. The best part of this place's profile is its nursing homes' remarkable inspection grades. Inspection grades are discussed in the next paragraph.
While its overall grade was fairly ordinary, this city's nursing homes performed extremely well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded Knox an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This city's next highest grade came in the area of nursing, where it received a B-. In our final two categories, the city were awarded a grade of C for its short-term care score and a grade of D in the area of long-term care. Despite an otherwise decent profile, a long-term care grade this poor may be concerning for some prospective residents.
