Nursing Homes in Bedford, Ohio

Bedford, Ohio offers only three nursing homes to choose from, which is not a ton of options. We awarded the nursing homes in this city city grade of C, which is not quite as strong of a grade as we like. This grade is not necessarily the end of the world, but it is definitely below average by national standards. One of the best aspects of this place's report card is its remarkable inspection score, which we will address in the next section.

This city's nursing homes received a somewhat average overall grade, but we really would like to emphasize that some of the nursing homes in the city virtually perfect health inspections the past few years. We awarded it an elite grade of A- in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Bedford's next best grade was in long-term care, where we gave it a C. Finally, the city received a C for its short-term care rating and a grade of D for nursing. Despite an otherwise respectable profile, a nursing score this poor may be an ominous sign for nursing staffing levels.
