This city's nursing homes' overall grade was propped up by its impressive inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that category, with a B+. 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 these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. Little Rock's second best category is nursing, where it earned a B- in this area. In the other categories we looked at, Little Rock received middle of the road grades in our long-term care and short-term care categories.
