This city's nursing home received a terrible overall grade, however, we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. 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 deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. This city's second best category was long-term care, where we gave it a C. Lastly, this place earned abysmal grades for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively.
