Norman, Oklahoma is an average size city with 113,857 people. The city has only 3 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 Shawnee a city grade of D, which is a well below average score. While neither city received a glowing review, we found the facilities in Norman to be a better bet. The best part of this place's report card was is its inspection grade. Inspection grades are discussed in the next section.
This city's overall grade was propped up by its impressive health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher scores in this category, with a B+.

Places with higher grades in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. In addition, Norman also excelled in the category of government short-term care with a B.
