There are just 3 nursing homes in Carthage, Texas, servicing a relatively small population of 13,977 people. This city received a city grade of C based on its overall nursing home quality. This is not a strong city grade. This score is not the end of the world, but it is definitely below average by national standards. We were especially pleased to find one quality facility in the city. This might be a smart place to begin your search.
Despite receiving a fairly ordinary overall grade, this city performed extremely well in our inspections category. In fact, some of its facilities received nearly perfect inspection reports this year. As a result, Carthage received one of our best grades in that category with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. In addition, Carthage also received one of our better grades in the area of long-term care, with a B+. In the other categories we looked at, the city received rock bottom grades in our nursing and short-term care categories respectively.
