While its overall score was abysmal, we actually awarded this city's nursing homes a B+ for our inspections rating. This category clearly isn't the source of its concerning overall grade. Our inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. Surprisingly, this city also performed decently in the area of nursing, where it earned a B- in this category.
