You can continue reading to find more information about how this city's nursing homes fared in our category grades.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city's nursing homes performed spectacularly well in our inspections category. In fact, some of its facilities received nearly perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded Madison one of our best grades in that category with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. This city's second best score came in short-term care, where Madison received a grade of B-. In the last two categories, the city earned a C for its long-term care score and a grade of F for nursing. While we found the rest of its profile to be decent, this poor nursing grade is not a good sign for levels of nursing staffing.
