We wanted to note that this city's inspection score outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we awarded Atlanta a B for its inspection grade, which is one of our higher grades. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. In addition, Atlanta also fared well in the category of health long-term care with a B. In the last two categories, Atlanta received slightly below average grades in our nursing and short-term care categories.
