This city received a strong overall grade, but we also wanted to emphasize that some of its facilities received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave Salinas an elite grade of A- in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. In addition, the city also fared well in the area of government nursing with a grade of B+. Rounding out its profile, this place earned a grade of B in our short-term care category and a B for long-term care. We really found Salinas to be competent in each category we assessed.
