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 major highlights of this city's report card is its stellar inspection grade, which you can find in the next paragraph.
Despite receiving a fairly ordinary overall grade, this city's nursing homes performed especially well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of its facilities received virtually flawless inspection reports this year. As a result, Waxahachie received one of our highest scores in that category with an A. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. In addition, Waxahachie also received one of our better grades in our long-term care category, with a B+. Lastly, we awarded the city slightly below average grades for our short-term care and nursing categories.
