With two nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of options in Lake Orion, Michigan. These facilities didn't really stand out from a quality point of view either. The city was awarded a city grade of C, which is not one of our better scores at the city level. This city's city grade was a bit better than the city grade of nursing homes in the nearby city of Warren, which received an abysmal city grade. If choosing between these cities, Lake Orion looks like a better bet. You can continue reading to learn more about how this city's nursing homes were rated in our category grades.
It should also be noted that this city's inspection grade outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave Lake Orion a B for its inspection score, which is one of our higher scores. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This city's next best category was short-term care, where it earned a B- in this category. Finally, the city received grades of B- and D for our nursing and long-term care categories respectively. Even with otherwise respectable category grades, this city's poor long-term care rating could be a problem for many prospective residents.
