With four nursing homes in the city, there are only a few options to choose from in Mcallen, Texas. This relatively small group of facilities were awarded on average an overall grade of B-, which is a respectable grade for the city. We also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Brownsville, which received a city grade of D. While we aren't raving about either city, we found the facilities in Mcallen to be slightly better. One of the major highlights of this city's report card is its stellar inspection rating, which is addressed in the following section.
This city received a fairly ordinary overall grade, but we really would like to point out that some of the nursing homes in the city almost flawless health inspections the past few years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this area. Our inspection ratings are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. The city also received one of our better scores in our long-term care category, with a B+. In the last two categories, the city were awarded a C for its nursing grade and a grade of D in short-term care. Despite otherwise respectable category grades, this place's weak short-term care grade could be a problem for those who need rehabilitation services..
