This city received a fairly ordinary overall grade, but we really wanted to emphasize that some of the nursing homes in the city virtually flawless health inspections the past few years. We gave them an elite grade of A- in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. Jackson received its next best score in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-, which is also a respectable grade. Lastly, the city received a C for nursing and a C for short-term care.
