Swanton, Ohio offers just two nursing homes to choose from, which is a limited selection. These nursing homes didn't really excel from a quality point of view either. The city received a city grade of C, which is not one of our stronger grades at the city level. We also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Taylor, which received a city grade of D. While we aren't writing glowing reviews about either city, we found the facilities in Swanton to be a better bet. One of the better aspects of this city's profile is its nursing homes' impressive inspection reports, which you can find in the following paragraph.
This city's most impressive category grade was in the area of government inspections. In that area, we gave the city a B. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This city's second best score was in short-term care, where it earned a grade of B-. In the last two categories, the city were awarded a C for its nursing grade and a grade of D in the area of long-term care. Despite otherwise respectable category grades, this city's weak long-term care score may be an issue for many prospective residents.
