This city's nursing homes received a fairly ordinary overall grade, but we really want to emphasize that some of its facilities almost perfect health inspections the past few years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Our inspection ratings are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Hammond received a B in the area of long-term care.
