There are just 2 nursing homes in Hayward, Wisconsin, servicing a relatively small population of 11,487 people. The nursing homes here received a superb city grade of A. Even with just a couple of nursing homes, this is still quite an achievement. In fact, this city's city grade far surpassed the city grade of facilities in the local city of Superior. This is especially impressive in light of the fact that we awarded those facilities in Superior a city grade of B+, which is a good grade in its own right. One of the major highlights of this place's stellar profile is its nursing homes' inspection grades. We discuss inspections in the next section.
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded Hayward an A+ in our inspections category. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. In addition, Hayward also really excelled in the category of nursing, where it received a grade of A. Wrapping up its straight A report card, Hayward received an A- for its long-term care score and a grade of A- for short-term care.
