With two nursing homes in the city, there are only a few options in Derby, Kansas. We awarded the nursing homes here a superb city grade of A-. Even with only a couple of facilities, this is still quite an accomplishment. In fact, Derby is the eighth best city in Kansas according to our rankings. This place's impressive profile was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection reports, which you can find in the next section.
As mentioned above, this city received a great overall grade, but we especially wanted to point out that some of its facilities received almost flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded Derby an impressive grade of A- in this category. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. The city also performed remarkably well in our nursing category, where it received a grade of A- for that area. Wrapping up its excellent report card, Derby received grades of A- and B+ for our short-term care and long-term care categories respectively.
