West Des Moines is a city with a population of 55,278 people. There are 2 nursing homes in the city to choose from.
Despite receiving an abysmal overall grade, this city performed much better in our inspections category. In fact, many of its nursing homes received relatively impressive government inspection reports this year. As a result, we awarded West Des Moines one of our better grades in that category with a B. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. The city shockingly performed favorably in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B in this area. Finally, this place were awarded a grade of C in our nursing category and a grade of D in the area of long-term care. In spite of an otherwise respectable performance, this city's weak long-term care grade could be a concern for many prospective residents.
