There are only 2 nursing homes located in Marrero, Louisiana, providing for a relatively small population of 56,344 people. This relatively small group of facilities earned on average an overall grade of B, which is a quality score for the city. For comparison's sake, we also assessed the facilities in the nearby city of Kenner, which received a city grade of D. We found Marrero to be in a totally different league. This city's impressive profile was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection scores, which you can find in the next section.
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this city an A+ in our inspections category. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Marrero also really excelled in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of A. In the other categories we looked at, we gave Marrero abysmal grades for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively. We are surprised by its grades in these two categories.
