With two nursing homes in the city, you only have a few options in Whitfield, Mississippi. These facilities did not really stand out from a quality point of view either. The city was awarded a city grade of C, which is not one of our stronger grades at the city level. This grade unfortunately is on the wrong side of the national average. The best part of this place's profile was its nursing homes' exemplary long-term care ratings. Long-term care grades are discussed in the next paragraph.
While its overall rating was somewhat average, we awarded this city's nursing homes a grade of A+ in long-term care. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. We also awarded Whitfield an A for our nursing rating. Lastly, we awarded the city grades of B+ and F for our short-term care and inspections areas respectively. Even with its other respectable category grades, we find an inspections rating this low to be alarming.
