Nursing Homes in Norwalk, Iowa

With just two nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of options to choose from in Norwalk, Iowa. The small group of nursing homes here received a city grade of C, which is not a strong score at the city level. Nationally, most cities received a higher grade than this city. While this place doesn't have any nursing homes with elite grades, we were able to find a single decent nursing home in the city.

While its overall score was not elite, this city's nursing homes performed spectacularly well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded the city a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. Norwalk's next best category is nursing, where it received a grade of C in this category. Lastly, Norwalk received a C for its long-term care rating and a grade of D in the area of short-term care. Despite an otherwise respectable performance, this city's poor short-term care score could be an issue for those looking for rehabilitation services.
