There are just 3 nursing homes located in Milford, Ohio, servicing a relatively small population of 31,394 people. This city received a city grade of C based on its overall nursing home quality. This is not a great city grade. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Fairfield, which received a city grade of F. While we aren't raving about either city, we found the nursing homes in Milford to be slightly better. The best part of this city's profile was is its inspection rating. We discuss inspections in the next paragraph.
This city's most impressive category grade came in the area of health inspections. In this category, we gave the city a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. Milford's next best category was nursing, where it earned a B- in this area. In the last two categories, we gave Milford grades of B- and D for our short-term care and long-term care areas respectively. Despite an otherwise decent profile, a long-term care grade in this range may be an issue for some people.
