There are just 2 nursing homes in Ripley, Mississippi, providing for a population of 11,950 people. 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. By way of comparison, we gave the nursing homes in the nearby city of Oxford a city grade of B, which is also an impressive grade. However, we found the facilities in Ripley to be rated much higher than the ones in Oxford. On top of this, Ripley has the distinction of being one of the top three rated cities in all of Mississippi.
As mentioned above, this city received a strong overall grade, but we also wanted to point out that some of its facilities received virtually perfect health inspections the past few years. We awarded Ripley an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. In addition, we also wanted to point out that we gave Ripley an A in our nursing category. Rounding out its top notch profile, this place were awarded a grade of A- for its long-term care grade and a B in short-term care.
