There are just 2 nursing homes located in Zachary, Louisiana, providing for a relatively small population of 24,918 people. This city's nursing homes were given a respectable city grade of B-. This is right about in the middle of the pack by national standards, which is perfectly respectable. The best part of this place's profile was its nursing homes' stellar inspection grades. Inspection grades are discussed in the following paragraph.
While its overall rating was somewhat average, this city performed extremely well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. In addition, Zachary earned a B+ in the area of long-term care. Lastly, the city received grades of C and F for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively. Even with an otherwise decent profile, a nursing grade this poor may be a bad sign for levels of nurse staffing.
