In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, most of the nursing homes in Shenandoah performed remarkably well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. In addition, Shenandoah earned a B+ in the area of nursing. Finally, we awarded the city a B for its short-term care rating and a B- in the area of long-term care.
