There are 7 nursing homes in Massillon, Ohio, servicing a population of 65,540 people. The nursing homes here received a city grade of D, which is a very weak score at the city level. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Stow, which received an alarming city grade of F. While neither city received a favorable grade, Massillon actually appears to be the slightly better option. Despite all of its shortcomings, one of the few highlights of this city's report card is its strong inspection grade. You can scroll down to learn more about inspections and other category grades
Despite receiving a terrible overall grade, this city performed favorably in our inspections category. In fact, many of its nursing homes received strong government inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded Massillon one of our better ratings in that category with a B. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. Surprisingly, we also awarded this city a grade of C for our short-term care rating. In the last two categories, Massillon were awarded a C in our long-term care category and a C in the area of nursing.
