It should also be noted that this city's inspection grade outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave Wilkes Barre a grade of B+ for its inspection rating, which is one of our higher scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Wilkes Barre's next best category is nursing, where we awarded it a B- in this category.
