Dunn, North Carolina is an average size city with 24,908 people. It features just 2 nursing homes, which does not provide you with too many options to choose from. These nursing homes received on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a terrible score, but it is not quite as high of a score as we like to see either. This city appears to be a slightly better option than the local city of Sanford, which received a city grade of D. Frankly, neither city fared very well in our assessment. The best part of this city's profile was its nursing homes' exemplary inspection scores. Inspection grades are discussed in the following paragraph.
While its overall rating was somewhat average, we awarded this city's nursing homes an A for our inspections rating. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This city earned its second best grade in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-, which is also a decent grade. Finally, Dunn were awarded a C for its short-term care score and a grade of D in the area of nursing. Even with an otherwise decent profile, a nursing score in this range may be a bad sign for levels of nurse staffing.
