This city's nursing homes received a great overall grade, but we especially wanted to emphasize that some of its nursing homes received nearly perfect health inspections the past few years. We gave Waterloo an elite grade of A- in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. In addition, the city also received an impressive nursing grade with a B+ in this category. In the last two categories, we awarded the city a B for its short-term care rating and a C for long-term care.
