With a population of 5,986 people, Peshtigo, Wisconsin is a small city. There are just 2 nursing homes in the city, which doesn't give you too many choices. Despite not having a ton of nursing homes, this city received a world class city grade of A-. In fact, this place's city grade even surpassed the city grade of facilities in the nearby city of Green Bay. This is especially impressive in light of the fact that we awarded those facilities in Green Bay a city grade of B+, which is a good grade in its own right. On top of this, Peshtigo is also one of the top 500 cities in the nation.
As mentioned above, this city's nursing homes received a strong overall grade, but we also wanted to emphasize that some of its nursing homes received almost perfect health inspections in recent years. We awarded Peshtigo an elite grade of A+ in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. In addition, Peshtigo performed especially well in the area of short-term care as well. Consequently, we awarded Peshtigo an A- in this category. Wrapping up its quality report card, the city received favorable scores for our long-term care and nursing areas as well.
