We awarded the nursing homes here a city grade of B, which is a good score. We found this city grade is considerably better than the city grade of C received by the nearby city of Battle Creek. Although that is not a terrible grade, Jackson certainly appears to be a better bet. The best part of Jackson's impressive report card is its nursing homes' short-term care ratings. Short-term care grades are discussed in the next paragraph.
To go along with its great overall grade, we gave this city a grade of A- for our short-term care rating. With a short-term care grade this high we would expect the majority of the facilities in Jackson to offer high levels of physical and occupational therapy staffing.
