The nursing homes here received a very good city grade of B+. Even with just a few nursing homes, this is still a great sign. In fact, Yuma is one of the 500 best cities in the entire nation. This is impressive since we ranked thousands of cities around the country. This place's impressive report card was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection grades, which is addressed in the next paragraph.
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this city an A for our inspections category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. The city also received strong nursing score where it received a grade of B+ in this category. Wrapping up its quality profile, we gave Yuma strong grades in our long-term care and short-term care areas as well.
