This city's nursing homes' overall grade was propped up by its inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher grades in this area, with a B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. Inspections appears to be this city's second best category. We awarded it a B- in this category. In the last two categories, Iuka earned a B- in our long-term care category and a grade of C in short-term care.
