With just three nursing homes in the city, there are only a few choices in Waxahachie, Texas. We awarded this relatively small group of nursing homes a city grade of B-, which is a decent rating. This is comparable with most of the cities in the United States. One of the highlights of this city's report card is its nursing homes' impressive long-term care ratings, which you can find in the next paragraph.
While this city's nursing homes received a decent overall grade, its long-term care rating is notably higher than the city's overall grade. Waxahachie received one of our higher grades in that category with a B+. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. The city also received favorable government inspections in recent years. As a result, we gave them one of our better grades in this area, with a B. In the other categories we looked at, we gave the city middle of the pack grades for our short-term care and nursing categories.
