With just two nursing homes in the city, you only have a couple of options to choose from in Emporia, Virginia. We gave the nursing homes here city grade of C, which is not as strong of a score as we had hoped for. By way of comparison, we awarded the facilities in the local city of Hopewell a city grade of F, which is a well below average score. Although neither city received a glowing review, we found the facilities in Emporia to be a better bet.

This city received an inspection score which is stronger than its overall grade. We awarded it a strong grade of B+ in this area. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. In addition, Emporia also received one of our higher grades in our long-term care category, with a grade of B. In our final two categories, we gave the city rock bottom grades for our nursing and short-term care areas respectively.
