With 127,302 people, Racine, Wisconsin is a moderately populated city. Surprisingly, there are just 3 nursing homes in the city, which is not quite as many as we expected in a city of this size. This small group of facilities were awarded on average an overall grade of B, which is a very solid rating for the city. This is an average city grade nationally, which is nothing to be ashamed of. We were also pleased to find that this place's nursing homes did not have any bad scores in any of the four major categories. Additional information about these categories is available in the next paragraph.
In addition to receiving a favorable overall grade, this city received an impressive inspection grade. In fact, we gave Racine a grade of B+ in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. In addition, Racine received a B+ in our short-term care category. Lastly, we gave Racine a B+ for its nursing grade and a grade of C for long-term care.
