You can continue reading to find more information about how this city's nursing homes were rated in our category grades.
This city received a somewhat average overall grade, but we really would like to emphasize that some of the nursing homes in the city virtually perfect health inspections the past few years. We awarded it an elite grade of A in this category. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. In addition, the city earned a B for the city's long-term care rating. Lastly, this place received grades of C and D for our short-term care and nursing areas respectively. Despite an otherwise respectable profile, a nursing grade in this range may be a bad sign for nursing staffing levels.
