With five nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of options in Sikeston, Missouri. We gave this city a city grade of C based on the quality of its nursing homes. This is not a strong city score. This score is below average by national standards. One of the best aspects of this city's report card is its stellar inspection rating, which you can find in the following section.
While its overall score was fairly ordinary, we awarded this city's nursing homes an A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. Sikeston earned its second highest grade in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a B-, which is also respectable. Finally, Sikeston earned alarmingly low grades for our nursing and short-term care categories respectively.
