Norman, Oklahoma is an average size city with 113,857 people. The city has only 4 nursing homes, which is not quite as many as we expected in a city of this size. With a city grade of B-, you should be able to find a respectable nursing home in the city. By way of comparison, we awarded the facilities in the local city of Ada a city grade of D, which is a far below average grade. Clearly, we found the nursing homes in Norman to be in a totally different league than the ones in Ada. One of the better aspects of this place's profile is its nursing homes' strong inspection ratings, which is addressed in the following paragraph.
This city's nursing homes received an inspection score which is better than its overall grade. We awarded it a favorable grade of B+ in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. In addition, the city earned a B+ for the city's short-term care rating. In our final two categories, this place received grades of B- and D for our nursing and long-term care categories respectively. Even with an otherwise respectable performance, this place's poor long-term care rating could be an issue for many people.
