With a population of 40,416 , Shakopee, Minnesota is a small city. There are only 2 nursing homes there, which does not provide you with too many options to choose from. This city's nursing homes received an excellent city grade of A, so what this city lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. This city has the prestigious distinction of being the eleventh best city in all of Minnesota according to our ratings. Lastly, this city's category grades were just as strong as its overall city grade. You can find more information about these in the next paragraph.
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this city's nursing homes a grade of A for our inspections category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. We also wanted to point out that we gave the city an A in our nursing category. Rounding out its straight A report card, we awarded the city an A- for its long-term care rating and a grade of A- in the area of short-term care.
