Inspection reports are discussed in the next paragraph

As mentioned above, this city's nursing homes received a strong overall grade, but we also wanted to emphasize that some of its facilities received virtually perfect health inspections the past few years. We awarded Memphis an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. In addition, Memphis also fared well in the area of government long-term care with a B+. In the other categories we looked at, this place received middle of the road grades in our nursing and short-term care areas.
