In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this city's nursing homes performed spectacularly well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded Cambridge an A- for this category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. In addition, the city also really excelled in the area of short-term care, where it received an A-. Finally, this place earned middle of the pack grades in our nursing and long-term care areas.
