In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this city's nursing homes performed spectacularly well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of its facilities received virtually perfect inspection reports this year. As a result, we awarded Eastman one of our highest grades in that area with a grade of A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. In addition, the city also earned one of our higher grades in our long-term care category, with a grade of B+. Finally, this place received a grade of C for its nursing grade and a grade of D in the area of short-term care. Clearly, short-term care proved to be this city's Achilles heel, but one poor category score shouldn't shape your entire perception of the city.
