In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received almost perfect inspection reports this year. As a result, we awarded it one of our best scores in that category with a grade of A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. In addition, New Bedford also performed spectacularly well in the area of long-term care, where it earned a grade of A- for that area. Rounding out its quality report card, the city received favorable grades in our nursing and short-term care areas as well.
