If you aren't deterred by this city's profile, feel free to continue reading to find out about its category grades. This city's nursing homes actually fared well in the area of inspections for example.
Desoto received an abysmal overall grade, but we wanted to point out its relatively impressive inspections the past few years. We gave Desoto a B in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. Surprisingly, Desoto also performed respectably in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a C in that area. Lastly, the city received rock bottom grades in our nursing and short-term care areas respectively.
