There are only 3 nursing homes located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, servicing a population of 18,548 people. This place's nursing homes received a phenomenal city grade of A, so what this place lacks in quantity, it makes up for by having high quality nursing homes. We also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Moorhead, which received a city grade of B-. While there's nothing wrong with this grade, we found Fergus Falls to be on a whole other level. Lastly, this city has the distinction of being one of the top ten rated cities in the state of Minnesota.
As mentioned above, this city's nursing homes received a strong overall grade, but we also wanted to point out that some of its facilities received almost flawless health inspections the past few years. We awarded Fergus Falls an impressive grade of A in this area. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. In addition, we also wanted to emphasize that we gave Fergus Falls an A in our nursing rating. Rounding out its first-rate report card, the city were awarded an A in our short-term care category and a B+ in long-term care.
