Nursing Homes in Rock Rapids, Iowa

With 3,844 people, Rock Rapids, Iowa is a small city. There are only 2 nursing homes in the city, which doesn't provide you with too many options. We gave this relatively small group of nursing homes a city grade of B, which is a good score. This is an average city grade nationally, which is nothing to be ashamed of. This city's impressive report card was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection scores, which we will address in the next section.

As mentioned above, this city's nursing homes received a strong overall grade, but we especially wanted to emphasize that some of the city's nursing homes received virtually perfect health inspections in recent years. We awarded Rock Rapids an elite grade of A- for this area. 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 deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. In addition, the city received a B+ in the area of nursing. In the last two categories, this place received middle of the road grades in our long-term care and short-term care categories.
