This city's only nursing home received an abysmal overall grade, but we wanted to point out its relatively impressive health inspections the past few years. We awarded them a grade of B in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. The second highest grade we gave this city in any category was its long-term care score, where we gave it a B-. In the other categories we looked at, we awarded the city rock bottom grades in our nursing and short-term care categories respectively.
