You can continue reading to find more information about how this city's nursing homes were rated in our category grades.
While its overall grade was not elite, we awarded this city's nursing homes an A for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This city's next best category was long-term care, where we awarded it a B- in this category. In our final two categories, we gave the city grades of B- and D for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively. Even with an otherwise respectable profile, a nursing rating of this caliber may be a bad sign for nursing staffing levels.
