As mentioned above, this city received a great overall grade, but we especially wanted to point out that some of its facilities received nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave Dyersburg an impressive grade of A for this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. In addition, Dyersburg also received an impressive long-term care score where it received a B+ in this category. In our final two categories, the city received a B- in our nursing category and a C in the area of short-term care.
