It should also be noted that this city's inspection grade outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we awarded Visalia a grade of B+ for its inspection grade, which is one of our better grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. In addition, the city earned a B+ in our long-term care category. Lastly, we gave the city a grade of B for short-term care and a B- for nursing.
