In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this city's nursing homes performed especially well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of its facilities received almost perfect inspection reports this year. As a result, we awarded it one of our best grades in that category with an A. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. We also wanted to point out that we gave Bristol an A- for our short-term care category. In the last two categories, we gave Bristol slightly below average grades for our long-term care and nursing categories.
