You can find more information about these in the next paragraph.
To go along with its great overall grade, we awarded Lexington an A- in our inspections category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. The city also really excelled in the category of long-term care, where we gave it an A-. Rounding out its strong profile, Lexington earned a grade of B+ for its nursing score and a grade of B+ in the area of short-term care. This city didn't have any weak links based on our assessment.
