While this city received a middle of the road overall grade, its inspection grade is notably more impressive than the city's overall grade. Due to some of its facilities receiving favorable inspection reports this year, we gave Richardson one of our better grades in this category with a grade of B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. Richardson's second best category is long-term care, where it received a B- in this area. In our final two categories, this place earned a grade of B- in our short-term care category and a C in nursing.
