With just two nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of choices in Gainesville, Virginia. We gave this city a respectable city grade of B- based on its overall nursing home quality. This is just about average by national standards, which is nothing to be ashamed of. You can continue reading to find more information about how this city's nursing homes fared in our category grades.
This city received a fairly ordinary 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 impressive grade of A- in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. The city earned a B+ in our short-term care category. In our final two categories, this place earned grades of B- and D for our nursing and long-term care categories respectively. In spite of otherwise respectable category grades, this city's weak long-term care score could be concerning for many people.
