With just five nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of options to choose from in Ardmore, Oklahoma. We gave the nursing homes in this city an excellent city grade of B+. Even with just a couple of facilities, this is still a great sign. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Ada, which received a city grade of B-. While there's nothing wrong with this grade, we found Ardmore to be on a whole other level. On top of this, Ardmore is one of the three highest rated cities in Oklahoma.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, the nursing homes in Ardmore performed spectacularly well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received virtually perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, it received one of our highest scores in that category with a grade of A-. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. In addition, we also wanted to emphasize that we gave Ardmore an A- in our long-term care category. Wrapping up its profile, this place were awarded an A- for its nursing rating and a B- in the area of short-term care. Outside of its short-term care score, this city's three other grades were just about as good as it gets.
