With seven nursing homes in Harlingen, Texas, you ought to look at multiple options before making a decision. With a city grade of B, this place should have some quality facilities. This is an average city grade nationally, which is perfectly respectable. This city's impressive profile was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection reports, which is addressed in the next section.
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, most of the facilities in Harlingen performed spectacularly well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded its facilities an A+ for this category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. In addition, we also awarded this city an A- in our long-term care rating. Lastly, this place received grades of B- and D for our short-term care and nursing areas respectively. We were somewhat disappointed by this city's nursing score, but there is still plenty to be enthusiastic about in this city's profile.
