Shelbyville, Tennessee is a relatively small city with 32,744 people. The city has just one nursing home, which is fewer than we were hoping for. Sadly, this nursing home didn't fare well in our assessment. We gave it a grade of D, which is a very weak grade. This score is rock bottom by national standards. This place's only redeeming quality is its inspection score, which you can find more information on below.
While its overall score was abysmal, we awarded this city's only nursing home an A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. Turning the page to the next category, we gave the city grade of just D in the area of short-term care, which is its second best grade. Lastly, the city earned rock bottom grades for our long-term care and nursing areas respectively.
