While its overall grade was not elite, this city's nursing homes performed remarkably well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded Ruston an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. The city received a B in the area of long-term care. In our final two categories, the city earned grades of C and F for our short-term care and nursing areas respectively.
