This is a sign that this city has some really bad nursing homes. As bad as this grade is, we shockingly found gave the nearby city of Alvin an even worse score. With Alvin receiving an awful grade, we would advise you to be very selective in either city. If you aren't deterred by this place's report card, feel free to continue reading to learn more about its nursing homes' category scores. This city's nursing homes surprisingly fared well in the category of inspections for example.
Despite receiving an abysmal overall grade, this city's nursing homes performed much better in our inspections category. In fact, many of its facilities received strong inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded Wharton one of our higher scores in that area with a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. Surprisingly, this city performed respectably in our long-term care category as well, where we gave it a grade of C for this category. In the other categories we looked at, Wharton received abysmal grades for our nursing and short-term care areas respectively.
