There are 29 nursing homes in Fort Worth, Texas, providing for a population of 813,980 people. These nursing homes were awarded on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a bad score, but it isn't quite as strong of a score as we had hoped for either. We also assessed the facilities in the nearby city of Coppell. While we aren't high on either city, we found the nursing homes in Fort Worth to be a bit better. This place is stronger in some categories than others, but it didn't have bad scores in any of our four major categories. More information about its category grades is available in the next section.
Despite receiving a fairly ordinary overall grade, this city's nursing homes performed especially well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received almost flawless inspection reports this year. Consequently, Fort Worth received one of our best ratings in that category with an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. The second highest grade we gave this city in any area was its long-term care grade, where it earned a C. In the last two categories, this place earned middle of the pack grades for our short-term care and nursing areas.
