Fairborn, Ohio is a medium size city with 40,529 people. It features only 3 nursing homes, which doesn't offer you too many options. We awarded this small group of nursing homes a city grade of B-, which is a solid grade. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Middletown. While we aren't writing glowing reviews about either city, we found the facilities in Fairborn to be a bit better. This city was stronger in some categories than others, but it didn't have bad scores in any of our major categories discussed below. Additional information about its category grades is available in the next paragraph.
While its overall rating was somewhat average, this city's nursing homes performed remarkably well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded Fairborn an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. This city's next highest grade was in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. Finally, the city received a C for its short-term care grade and a C in the area of nursing.
