There are 11 nursing homes located in Durham, North Carolina, providing for a population of 256,789 people. These nursing homes were awarded on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a bad grade, but it is not quite as strong of a grade as we like to see either. This city appears to be a similar option to the nearby city of Asheboro, which received a city grade of C. Frankly, neither city received elite marks in our assessment. One of the best aspects of this place's report card is its exemplary inspection rating, which we will address in the following paragraph.
While its overall score was not elite, this city performed spectacularly well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Durham's second best category is short-term care, where it earned a grade of B- in this category. Finally, this place received slightly below average grades for our long-term care and nursing categories.
