With a population of 11,950 people, Ripley, Mississippi is a small city. There are only 3 nursing homes there, which doesn't offer you too many choices. The nursing homes in this city received a phenomenal city grade of A-. Even with just a few facilities, this is still a great achievement. In fact, this is one of the ten highest rated cities in the state of Mississippi. This place's impressive report card was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection reports, which we will address in the next paragraph.
This city received a strong overall grade, but we also wanted to point out that some of its facilities received almost perfect health inspections in recent years. We awarded Ripley an impressive grade of A+ for this category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. In addition, Ripley performed spectacularly well in the area of long-term care as well. Consequently, we gave it a grade of A- in that area. Rounding out its strong report card, Ripley were awarded a B+ for nursing and a B in short-term care. This place did not have any weak links based on our assessment.
