With two nursing homes in the city, you only have a few options to choose from in Jacksonville, North Carolina. These facilities received on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a terrible grade, but it is not quite as strong of a score as we had hoped for either. This grade is below average by national standards. One of the highlights of this place's profile is its nursing homes' impressive inspection reports, which we will address in the next paragraph.
This city's most impressive category grade came in the area of health inspections. In that category, we gave the city a B. Inspection ratings are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Jacksonville received its second highest grade in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-, which also isn't too bad. In the other categories we looked at, the city received grades of C and D for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively. Despite an otherwise decent profile, a nursing score of this caliber may be a bad sign for levels of nurse staffing.
