With 15,810 people, Gladwin, Michigan is a small city. There are just 2 nursing homes there, which does not give you too many options to choose from. Unfortunately, we awarded the nursing homes in this city city grade of F, which is one of our worst grade at the city level. We looked at the individual facilities in Gladwin and we didn't see any great options as not a single nursing home in the city received an above average grade. We really don't have many good things to say about this place's facilities, but their best category was short-term care ratings. You can continue reading to learn more about this.
The nursing homes in Gladwin received an abysmal overall grade, but we actually awarded it a C in our short-term care category. Short-term care grades are typically employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We also wanted to acknowledge that we awarded the city a C in nursing. In the last two categories, we awarded the city grades of C and D for our inspections and long-term care categories respectively. Clearly, this city's long-term care rating really dragged down its overall grade.
