We awarded the nursing homes in this city city grade of C, which isn't quite as strong of a grade as we had hoped for. This score is below average by national standards. This city was stronger in some categories than others, but it didn't have terrible grades in any of our four major categories. Additional information about its category grades is available in the next paragraph.
Despite receiving a fairly ordinary overall grade, this city's nursing homes performed spectacularly well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received almost perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded La Porte one of our highest grades in that area with a grade of A-. Inspection grades are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. La Porte's second best category is short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B- in this category. In the other categories we looked at, La Porte earned middle of the road grades for our nursing and long-term care areas.
