Lincolnton, North Carolina has only two nursing homes to choose from, so you don't have too many options to choose from. This city received a city grade of C based on its overall nursing home quality. This is not a strong city grade. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Lenoir, which received a city grade of F. While we not writing glowing reviews about either city, we found the nursing homes in Lincolnton to be a better bet. The best part of this city's profile is its nursing homes' exemplary inspection ratings. Inspection reports are discussed in the following section.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city performed especially well in our inspections category. In fact, some of its facilities received nearly flawless inspection reports this year. As a result, we awarded Lincolnton one of our highest grades in that category with a grade of A-. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Inspections appears to be Lincolnton's second best feature. It received a B- in this category. In the last two categories, the city received grades of C and D for our short-term care and nursing areas respectively. Despite an otherwise decent profile, a nursing score in this range may be a bad sign for nursing staffing levels.
