La Crosse, Wisconsin is a medium size city with 63,587 people. It features just 4 nursing homes, which does not give you too many choices. While it only has a couple of nursing homes, this city received a superb city grade of A-. We found this city grade to be even better than the city grade of B+ received by the nearby city of Winona. Both cities received impressive grades, but La Crosse appears to be an even better place to find a nursing home. Even in a state with many excellent cities to find nursing homes, we ranked this city as one of the twenty five highest rated cities in Wisconsin.
To go along with its great overall grade, we awarded this city a grade of A for our inspections category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. In addition, La Crosse also really excelled in the category of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Rounding out its straight A report card, La Crosse were awarded an A- for short-term care and an A- in long-term care.
