This city looks to be better than the nearby city of Middle River, which received a poor grade of D. Neither of these cities comes highly recommended. In particular, we wanted to point out that there is one above average nursing home in the city. This is probably where we would begin our search in this city.

While this city's nursing homes received a decent overall grade, its inspection grade is notably more impressive than the city's overall score. Due to some of its nursing homes receiving strong inspection reports this year, we gave Elkton one of our higher scores in that area with a B+. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. In addition, Elkton also received one of our higher scores in the area of short-term care, with a grade of B. In our final two categories, Elkton received a C for nursing and a grade of D for long-term care. Even with an otherwise respectable performance, this place's poor long-term care grade may be a problem for many prospective residents.
