With just four nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of options in Shawnee, Kansas. This place's limited supply of nursing homes were awarded a city grade of B. This city's city grade was a bit better than the city grade of nursing homes in the local city of Blue Springs. While the nursing homes in Blue Springs are not terrible, we found Shawnee to be a better bet. This city's report card was also very consistent as it did not receive a single poor category grade either. You can learn more about these in the next paragraph.
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, most of the facilities in Shawnee performed remarkably well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded Shawnee an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. In addition, Shawnee received a grade of B in the area of short-term care. Wrapping up its quality report card, this place received favorable grades for our nursing and long-term care areas as well.
