Appleton, Wisconsin is a medium size city with 116,633 people. It has only 4 nursing homes, which is fewer than we expected in a city of this size. The nursing homes here received a superb city grade of A-. Even with just a couple of facilities, this is still quite an accomplishment. Even in a state with many excellent cities to find nursing homes, we ranked this city as one of the top twenty five rated cities in all of Wisconsin. This city's report card was also very consistent as it did not receive a single poor category grade either. You can find more information about these in the next paragraph.
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this city's nursing homes performed remarkably well in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Short-term care ratings of this caliber are a good sign for the levels of physical and occupational therapy staffing at the facilities in a city. In addition, we also awarded this city an A- in our inspections category. Rounding out its first-rate profile, Appleton received grades of A- and B for our nursing and long-term care categories respectively.
