There is remarkably just one nursing home located in Garland, Texas, providing for a significant population of 226,892 people. We awarded the city's lone nursing home a grade of C, so it may be worth looking at. This score is below average by national standards. The best part of this nursing home's report card is its exemplary inspection grade. Inspection grades are discussed in the next paragraph.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city's lone nursing home performed especially well in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best ratings in that area with a grade of A. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. The second best grade we gave this place in any category was its long-term care score, where it received a C. In the last two categories, Garland earned grades of C and D for our nursing and short-term care categories respectively. In spite of otherwise strong category grades, this place's weak short-term care score could be an issue for those who need rehabilitation services.
