With two nursing homes in the city, you only have a couple of options to choose from in Elyria, Ohio. These facilities received on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a terrible score, but it is not quite as high of a score as we had hoped for either. We found that most cities received a B or higher, leaving Elyria on the wrong side of average. The best part of this city's report card is its nursing homes' remarkable inspection scores. Inspection reports are discussed in the following section.
While its overall rating was not elite, the nursing homes in Elyria performed remarkably well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded Elyria an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. The next highest score we gave Elyria in any area was its short-term care score, where we gave it a C. In our final two categories, we gave Elyria grades of C and D for our nursing and long-term care categories respectively. Despite an otherwise respectable performance, this city's weak long-term care grade could be a concern for many prospective residents.
