With just four nursing homes in the city, you only have a couple of choices in Black Mountain, North Carolina. This place's nursing homes received a world class city grade of A-, so what this place lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. We also assessed the nursing homes in the nearby city of Hendersonville, which received a city grade of B+. As good as the nursing homes are in Hendersonville, we found Black Mountain to be even better. We were so impressed with this city that we ranked it as one of the 250 best cities in the entire nation.
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded Black Mountain an A in our inspections category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We also wanted to point out that we awarded the city a grade of A- for our short-term care category. Wrapping up its straight A profile, the city earned an A- for nursing and an A- in long-term care.
