There are 5 nursing homes in Paris, Texas, providing for a population of 34,942 people. These nursing homes did not really excel from a quality perspective either. The city was awarded a city grade of C, which is not one of our stronger scores at the city level. Nationally, most cities received a higher grade than this city. One of the better aspects of this city's report card is its nursing homes' strong inspection scores, which we will address in the next paragraph.
This city's overall grade was propped up by its impressive inspections in recent years. We awarded the city one of our better grades in this area, with a B+. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Paris also received an impressive long-term care grade where it received a grade of B in this area. Lastly, this place received a C for its nursing rating and a grade of D in short-term care. Despite an otherwise respectable performance, this place's poor short-term care rating could be a problem for prospective residents who need rehabilitation services..
