While this city's nursing homes received a middle of the road overall grade, its inspection grade is more impressive than its overall score. Due to some of its nursing homes receiving strong inspection reports this year, we gave Glendale one of our higher scores in that area with a grade of B.

You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor.
