With a population of 12,528 , Amory, Mississippi is a relatively small city. There are only 2 nursing homes in the city, which does not offer you too many options. This city's nursing homes received a superb city grade of A-, so what this place lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. In fact, this place's city grade was even better than the city grade of nursing homes in the nearby city of Columbus. This is particularly impressive in light of the fact that we awarded those facilities in Columbus a city grade of B, which is actually a good grade in its own right. This city's strong profile was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection ratings, which is addressed in the next paragraph.
On top of having excellent nursing homes on the whole, this city really excelled in the category of inspections, where we gave it an A+. Not many cities earned a better grade in this area. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. In addition, we also awarded Amory an A for our long-term care category. Wrapping up its report card, Amory received a grade of B in our nursing category and a B in short-term care. This place didn't have any weak links as far as we could tell.
