In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, many of the nursing homes in Bangor performed extremely well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded its facilities an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. In addition, the city also really excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received a grade of A. Wrapping up its excellent report card, the city earned grades of A and B for our nursing and long-term care areas respectively.
