As mentioned above, this city's nursing homes received a great overall grade, but we also wanted to emphasize that some of the city's facilities received nearly perfect health inspections the past few years. We gave Port Charlotte an impressive grade of A in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. In addition, we also awarded Port Charlotte a grade of A- for our long-term care rating. Rounding out its report card, we gave the city favorable grades in our nursing and short-term care areas as well.
