With a population of 17,081 people, Lockhart, Texas is a relatively small city. There are only 2 nursing homes there, which does not offer you too many options to choose from. These nursing homes received on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a bad score, but it is not quite as strong of a score as we had hoped for either. This city's city grade narrowly surpassed the city grade of nursing homes in the local city of Pflugerville, which received an abysmal city grade. If choosing between these cities, Lockhart looks like a better bet. You can continue reading to find more information about how this city's nursing homes performed in our category grades.
