There are three nursing homes in Winchester, Tennessee, which at least gives you a few options. These nursing homes here earned this place a strong city grade of B. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Mcminnville, which received a decent city grade in its own right. However, we found the facilities in Winchester to be better than the ones in Mcminnville. The best aspect of this city's impressive profile was its nursing homes' inspection reports. We discuss inspections in the next section
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, most of the facilities in Winchester performed extremely well in the category of inspections. In fact, some of its facilities received almost perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded it one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. In addition, the city performed remarkably well in terms of its long-term care grade as well. Consequently, it received an A- in this area. Finally, the city were awarded a B- in our nursing category and a B- in the area of short-term care.
