While this city received a middle of the road overall grade, its inspection grade is notably higher than the city's overall score. Due to some of its facilities receiving favorable inspection reports this year, we gave Burlington one of our higher scores in that category with a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. In addition, Burlington earned a B+ for our short-term care category. In the last two categories, we gave Burlington middle of the road grades in our nursing and long-term care areas.
