With a population of 9,567 , Yoakum, Texas is a relatively small city. There are just 2 nursing homes there, which doesn't provide you with too many options to choose from. We gave this relatively small group of nursing homes a city grade of B-, which is a decent grade. By way of comparison, we gave the nursing homes in the local city of Seguin a city grade of D, which is a very poor score. Although neither city received a rave review, we found the facilities in Yoakum to be a better bet. One of the major highlights of this city's profile is its stellar inspection reports, which you can find in the next section.
This city received a somewhat average overall grade, however, we really would like to point out that some of the nursing homes in the city virtually perfect health inspections the past few years. We gave them an elite grade of A- in this area. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Yoakum earned a B+ for our long-term care category. Lastly, the city earned a B- for its nursing score and a grade of D in short-term care. Even with otherwise respectable category grades, this place's poor short-term care rating may be an issue for people who need rehabilitation..
