This city's nursing homes received a somewhat average overall grade, however, we really wanted to emphasize that some of its facilities nearly flawless health inspections the past few years. We gave them an elite grade of A+ in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant.
