There are only 3 nursing homes in Denison, Texas, servicing a population of 29,908 people. These facilities were awarded on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a bad score, but it isn't as high of a grade as we like to see either. By way of comparison, we awarded the facilities in the nearby city of Carrollton a city grade of D, which is a well below average grade. Although neither city received a rave review, we found the nursing homes in Denison to be a better bet. This place is stronger in some categories than others, but it didn't have terrible scores in any of the major categories. More information about its category grades is available in the next paragraph.
Despite receiving a fairly ordinary overall grade, this city performed spectacularly well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received nearly perfect inspection reports this year. As a result, we awarded Denison one of our best scores in that area with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. This city's next best grade came in our long-term care category, where it earned a C. In our final two categories, this place received a grade of C for nursing and a C in short-term care.
