With two nursing homes in the city, there are only a few choices in Lexington, Tennessee. These nursing homes here earned this city a city grade of B. This is an average city grade nationally, which is nothing to be ashamed of. Fortunately, this place's nursing homes did not have any poor grades in any of the four major categories. Additional information about these categories can be found in the next paragraph.
To go along with its great overall grade, we awarded Lexington an A- in our inspections category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. The city also fared well in the area of health long-term care with a B+. Finally, Lexington received a B- for its short-term care rating and a grade of C in the area of nursing.
