Alexandria, Louisiana offers just five nursing homes to choose from, which is not a ton of options. This city received a city grade of C based on the quality of its nursing homes. This is not a strong city grade. This score unfortunately ended up on the wrong side of the national average. One of the highlights of this city's report card is its nursing homes' strong inspection reports, which we will address in the following section.
The nursing homes in Alexandria received an inspection score which is superior to its overall grade. We awarded them grade of B+ in this area. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. In addition, the city also received one of our better grades in our long-term care category, with a grade of B. In our final two categories, this place earned alarmingly low grades for our nursing and short-term care areas respectively.
