There are four facilities in Lansing, Michigan, which at least gives you a few choices. These facilities did not really excel from a quality point of view either. The city received a city grade of C, which is not one of our better grades at the city level. This city looks to be a similar option to the nearby city of Fenton, which received a city grade of C. Frankly, neither of these cities received stellar marks in our assessment. One of the highlights of this city's profile is its nursing homes' strong short-term care scores, which we will address in the next paragraph.
It should also be noted that this city's nursing score was superior to its overall grade. In fact, we gave Lansing a B+ in this area, which is one of our higher grades. Short-term care grades this high are a good sign for the levels of physical and occupational therapy staffing at the facilities in a city. Lansing also fared well in the category of government nursing with a B. Lastly, the city received grades of B- and F for our inspections and long-term care categories respectively. Clearly, this city's long-term care grade really pulled down its overall grade.
