Nursing Homes in Grinnell, Iowa

With a population of 11,536 people, Grinnell, Iowa is a relatively small city. There are only 3 nursing homes there, which doesn't provide you with too many options to choose from. We gave the nursing homes here an excellent city grade of B+. Even with just a few nursing homes, this is still a great sign. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of West Des Moines, which received a city grade of B. As impressed as we were with the nursing homes in West Des Moines, we found Grinnell to be rated even higher. This city's report card is also very consistent as it did not receive a single weak category grade either. You can find more information about these in the next section.

As mentioned above, this city's nursing homes received a strong overall grade, but we especially wanted to point out that some of the city's facilities received virtually perfect health inspections in recent years. We awarded Grinnell an impressive grade of A for this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. In addition, Grinnell also performed remarkably well in the area of nursing, where we gave it an A- for that area. Wrapping up its strong report card, Grinnell were awarded a B+ in our short-term care category and a grade of B for long-term care. This place really didn't have any weak links as far as we could tell.
