Our data for Ruston, Louisiana is based on a single nursing home we found there. We awarded the city's lone nursing home a grade of C, so it may be worth looking at. Nationally, most cities received a higher score than this city. While this probably is not a bad option, we wouldn't blame you if you want to explore other cities to see what they have to offer.
While its overall score was fairly ordinary, we awarded this city's sole nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. This place also earned a strong long-term care score. We gave it a B+ in that area. In the last two categories, Ruston earned rock bottom grades in our nursing and short-term care areas respectively.
