This city received a strong overall grade, but we especially wanted to point out that some of the city's facilities received nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded Lansing an elite grade of A in this area. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Lansing also performed spectacularly well in the area of long-term care, where it earned an A for that area. Lastly, Lansing earned a B- for its short-term care score and a grade of B- for nursing.
