Covington, Louisiana offers only two nursing homes to choose from, which is a limited selection. We awarded the nursing homes in this city a top-notch city grade of A-. Even with just a few nursing homes, this is still quite an achievement. By way of comparison, we awarded the nursing homes in the local city of Kenner a city grade of C, which is a below average grade. Clearly, we found the facilities in Covington to be in a totally different league than the ones in Kenner. Lastly, Covington is also one of the top 500 cities in the entire nation.
On top of having excellent nursing homes on the whole, this city's nursing homes really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A+. Very few cities fared this well in this category. Our inspection grades are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. We also awarded this city an A in our long-term care category. In the other categories we looked at, Covington earned a B for nursing and a B- in short-term care.
