While its overall score was somewhat average, this city's nursing homes performed extremely well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Wheelersburg also received an impressive long-term care grade where it earned a grade of B in this area. Finally, Wheelersburg earned a C for short-term care and a grade of F for nursing.
