To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this city an A+ for our inspections category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. The city also excelled in the area of short-term care with a B. Finally, Erie earned a B in our long-term care category and a B- for nursing.
