While its overall rating was not elite, this city performed remarkably well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded Denison an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Denison received its second highest grade in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a C, which is also a decent grade.
