While its overall grade was somewhat average, the nursing homes in Medina performed extremely well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded the city an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death.
