This city's nursing homes' overall grade was propped up by its impressive government inspections in recent years. We gave the city one of our higher grades in this category, with a B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. In addition, the city received a grade of B+ in our long-term care category. In the other categories we looked at, we gave the city slightly below average grades in our nursing and short-term care categories.
