Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city performed especially well in our inspections category. In fact, some of its facilities received almost perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, Cortland received one of our best ratings in that category with a grade of A. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This city's second best category is short-term care, where we gave it a C in this category. In the last two categories, this place earned a C for its nursing grade and a grade of D in long-term care. Despite otherwise respectable category grades, this city's weak long-term care rating could be concerning for many people.
