With just two nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of options in Shelby, Ohio. These nursing homes received on average an overall grade of D. This reflects the fact that this place has some really bad facilities. For comparison's sake, we also assessed the nursing homes in the nearby city of Westerville, which received a terrible city grade of F. While neither city comes highly recommended, Shelby actually looks like a better choice. We were surprisingly able to give this city's nursing homes some positive feedback for our inspections category, which you can read more about below.
While its overall score was awful, we awarded this city's nursing homes a B+ for our inspections rating. This category obviously isn't the source of this city's concerning overall grade. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. The city's second best category is long-term care, where it received a D. In the last two categories, the city received rock bottom grades for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively.
