Tomahawk, Wisconsin is a medium size city with 9,594 people. The city has only 2 nursing homes, which does not provide you with too many options. This city's nursing homes received a strong city grade of B+, so what this city lacks in quantity, it makes up for by having high quality nursing homes. By way of comparison, we awarded the nursing homes in the nearby city of Wausau a city grade of B+, which is also a well above average grade. Nevertheless, we found the facilities in Tomahawk to be every bit as good as the ones in Wausau. We were actually so impressed with this city that we ranked it as one of the top twenty five rated cities in the state of Wisconsin.
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, most of the facilities in Tomahawk performed extremely well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded the city an A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. In addition, we also awarded this city an A- for our nursing rating. In the other categories we looked at, we gave Tomahawk a grade of B for its short-term care rating and a C in long-term care.
