Caribou, Maine is an average size city with 9,876 people. The city has just 2 nursing homes, which does not offer you too many options to choose from. This city's nursing homes received an excellent city grade of A, so what this place lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. We were so impressed with this city that we ranked it as one of the five highest rated cities in all of Maine. This city's profile was also very consistent as it did not receive a single weak category grade either. You can learn more about these in the next section.
As mentioned above, this city received a strong overall grade, but we especially wanted to emphasize that some of the city's facilities received almost perfect health inspections in recent years. We gave Caribou an impressive grade of A+ for this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. In addition, we also awarded this city an A+ for our nursing category. Wrapping up its first-rate report card, the city were awarded an A for its short-term care rating and a B for long-term care.
