This small group of facilities were awarded on average an overall grade of B-, which is a solid rating for the city. This is just about average by national standards, which is nothing to be ashamed of. You can continue reading to find more information about how this city's nursing homes were rated in our category grades.
This city's overall grade was propped up by its impressive inspections in recent years. We gave the city one of our higher grades in this area, with a B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. In addition, the city also received strong short-term care grade with a B in this area. In our final two categories, the city received middle of the road grades for our nursing and long-term care areas.
