Midland, Texas has only five nursing homes to choose from, which is a limited selection. We gave the nursing homes here city grade of C, which isn't as high of a grade as we had hoped for. This score unfortunately is on the wrong side of the national average. One of the best aspects of this place's profile is its exemplary inspection grade, which is addressed in the next paragraph.
While its overall grade was somewhat average, we awarded this city's nursing homes an A- for our inspections rating. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. This city's next best grade came in our long-term care category, where it received a grade of B-. In the last two categories, the city earned a C for its short-term care grade and a grade of D in the area of nursing. In spite of an otherwise respectable profile, a nursing rating in this range may be an ominous sign for levels of nurse staffing.
