Defiance is a city with a population of 28,674 people. There are 3 nursing homes in the city to choose from.
While its overall grade was awful, the nursing homes in Defiance performed well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. Surprisingly, we also awarded this city a grade of C for its short-term care grade. Lastly, we gave Defiance grades of C and D for our nursing and long-term care areas respectively. In spite of an otherwise respectable performance, this place's poor long-term care rating may be a problem for many people.
