With just two nursing homes in the city, you only have a few options in Yankton, South Dakota. The nursing homes in this city received a phenomenal city grade of A. Even with only a couple of facilities, this is still quite an accomplishment. We found this city grade is considerably better than the city grade of B received by the nearby city of Sioux City. Both cities received impressive grades, but Yankton appears to be a much better bet. On top of this, Yankton is the top rated city in South Dakota.
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, most of the nursing homes in Yankton performed spectacularly well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded the city an A+ for this category, which is one of our highest scores. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. The city performed spectacularly well in the area of short-term care as well. As a result, Yankton received an A in that area. Wrapping up its straight A profile, we gave the city top notch grades for our long-term care and nursing areas as well.
