WHile neither city really stood out, both cities would likely be acceptable options for most people. The best part of this place's report card was its nursing homes' stellar inspection scores. Inspection reports are discussed in the next paragraph.
This city received a fairly ordinary overall grade, but we really want to emphasize that some of the nursing homes in the city almost perfect health inspections in recent years. We gave it an elite grade of A- in this area. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Beacon's next best category is short-term care, where it earned a grade of B- in this category. In the other categories we looked at, this place received a B- for its long-term care rating and a C in the area of nursing.
