As mentioned above, this city received a strong overall grade, but we especially wanted to point out that some of the city's nursing homes received almost perfect health inspections in recent years. We gave Fort Dodge an impressive grade of A- in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. The city earned a B+ in our short-term care category. Rounding out its report card, we gave Fort Dodge a B for its nursing rating and a B in long-term care.
