The best part of this place's profile is is its inspection reports. Inspection grades are discussed in the next section.
While this city's nursing homes received a middle of the road overall grade, its inspection grade is more impressive than the city's overall score. Due to some of its facilities receiving favorable inspection reports this year, Beachwood received 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 grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. The city also received an impressive short-term care score with a grade of B in this category. In the last two categories, the city were awarded a C for its nursing score and a grade of D in the area of long-term care. Despite otherwise respectable category grades, this place's weak long-term care score may be an issue for many prospective residents.
