Nursing Homes in Shelby, Ohio

There are only 2 nursing homes located in Shelby, Ohio, providing for a relatively small population of 13,818 people. We gave the nursing homes in this city city grade of C, which is not as strong of a grade as we had hoped for. We also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Westerville, which received a city grade of F. While we gave both cites terrible scores, we found the facilities in Shelby to be a better bet. The best part of this city's profile is its nursing homes' exemplary inspection scores. Inspection reports are discussed in the next paragraph.

Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, the nursing homes in Shelby performed especially well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received almost flawless inspection reports this year. As a result, Shelby received one of our best grades in that area with an A. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Shelby's next best category is long-term care, where it earned a B- in this category. Finally, Shelby received grades of C and D for our nursing and short-term care areas respectively. Even with otherwise strong category grades, this place's poor short-term care rating could be a concern for people who need rehabilitation services.
