Muscatine, Iowa offers only three nursing homes to choose from, so you have relatively limited options. The relatively small number of nursing homes here received a city grade of C, which is not a great score at the city level. We actually found this city grade is better than the grade we gave the nearby city of Rock Island. With Rock Island receiving an awful grade, Muscatine certainly appears to be a better bet. The best part of this place's report card was is its inspection grade. Inspection grades are discussed in the following section.
This city received an inspection score which is stronger than its overall grade. We gave it grade of B in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. In addition, the city earned a B in our nursing category. In the last two categories, this place received grades of B- and D for our short-term care and long-term care categories respectively. Even with an otherwise respectable profile, a long-term care grade of this caliber may be an issue for some people.
