With a population of 24,417 people, Berea, Kentucky is a relatively small city. There are only 2 nursing homes there, which doesn't provide you with too many options to choose from. These nursing homes earned on average an overall grade of D. This reflects the fact that this city has some low quality nursing homes. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Nicholasville, which received a city grade of F. While we gave both cites weak grades, we found the facilities in Berea to be a bit better. The only positive thing we can really say about this place is that it didn't receive any F's in in any of the major categories. More information about these categories can be found below.
While its overall grade was awful, this city performed spectacularly well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Surprisingly, this city also performed decently in our long-term care category, where we gave it a C in that area. In the last two categories, Berea earned abysmal grades for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively.
