This city's nursing homes received a somewhat average overall grade, however, we really wanted to emphasize that some of its facilities virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this area. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Monroe also excelled in the category of health long-term care with a B+. In the other categories we looked at, Monroe received grades of C and D for our short-term care and nursing areas respectively. Despite an otherwise decent profile, a nursing score in this range may be an ominous sign for nursing staffing levels.
