This city received a great overall grade, but we especially wanted to emphasize that some of its nursing homes received almost perfect health inspections the past few years. We awarded Cedar Rapids an impressive grade of A in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. In addition, the city performed spectacularly well in the area of short-term care as well. As a result, we gave it an A- in this area. Finally, this place received a B in our nursing category and a grade of C for long-term care.
