Nursing Homes in Galax, Virginia

There are only 2 nursing homes in Galax, Virginia, servicing a relatively small population of 17,996 people. This small group of nursing homes in this city received a decent city grade of B-. We somewhat surprisingly found this city grade is better than the grade we gave the nearby city of Kernersville. With Kernersville receiving an awful grade, Galax certainly appears to be a better bet. While this place does not have any nursing homes with above average grades, we were able to find a couple of decent nursing homes in the city.

While its overall grade was fairly ordinary, this city performed extremely well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded Galax an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. In addition, the city also performed extremely well in the area of long-term care, with an A- for this category. In the last two categories, this place received terrible grades in our nursing and short-term care areas respectively.
