Despite receiving a fairly ordinary overall grade, the nursing homes in Bessemer performed extremely well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of its facilities received nearly perfect inspection reports this year. As a result, we awarded Bessemer one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. In addition, Bessemer earned a B for our short-term care category. In the other categories we looked at, the city earned slightly below average grades for our nursing and long-term care categories.
