With a population of 27,816 , Shelbyville, Indiana is a small city. There are just 2 nursing homes in the city, which doesn't offer you too many choices. Unfortunately, the nursing homes in this city received a city grade of D, which is an abysmal score at the city level. We also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Martinsville, which received a terrible city grade of F. While neither city comes highly recommended, Shelbyville actually looks like the better option. We really don't have many good things to say about this city's facilities, but they did receive surprisingly impressive inspection ratings. You can continue reading to learn more about this.
While its overall grade was as bad as it gets, the facilities in Shelbyville performed well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our higher grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. Surprisingly, this city performed better in the area of short-term care as well, where we gave it a C for that category. In the last two categories, the city received concerningly weak grades in our nursing and long-term care areas respectively.
