This place's impressive profile was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection grades, which is addressed in the next paragraph.
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, most of the nursing homes in Frankfort performed spectacularly well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded Frankfort an A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. In addition, the city also excelled in the category of health long-term care with a B. Lastly, Frankfort earned grades of C and D for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively. We were somewhat disappointed with this city's nursing score, but there is still plenty to be enthusiastic about in this city's profile.
