With just four nursing homes in the city, you only have a couple of options in Spring, Texas. We awarded this relatively small group of nursing homes a city grade of B-, which is a respectable grade. By way of comparison, we gave the facilities in the local city of Humble a city grade of F, which is a well below average score. While neither city received a rave review, we found the nursing homes in Spring to be a better option. The best part of this city's report card was its nursing homes' exemplary inspection grades. Inspection grades are discussed in the next section.
While its overall grade was somewhat average, this city performed spectacularly well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded Spring an A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Spring earned its next highest grade in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-, which is also a decent grade. In our final two categories, Spring earned middle of the road grades for our long-term care and nursing categories.
