With 13,258 people, Clinton, Missouri is a small city. There are only 2 nursing homes there, which doesn't give you too many options. This place's nursing homes were given a city grade of B-. We found this city grade was considerably better than the city grade of C received by the nearby city of Lees Summit. Although that is not a terrible grade, Clinton certainly appears to be a better bet. One of the major highlights of this place's report card is its remarkable inspection rating, which you can find in the next section.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city performed especially well in our inspections category. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received virtually flawless inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded Clinton one of our best grades in that area with an A. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. In addition, the city earned a B+ for the city's long-term care rating. In the last two categories, Clinton earned grades of C and D for our nursing and short-term care areas respectively. Despite otherwise strong category grades, this city's poor short-term care score could be a problem for those looking for rehabilitation.
