Pilot Point, Texas has just two nursing homes to choose from, so you have relatively limited options. This small group of facilities earned on average an overall grade of B-, which is a solid rating for the city. This is just about the middle of the road by national standards, which is nothing to be ashamed of. The best part of this place's profile was its nursing homes' stellar inspection scores. Inspection reports are discussed in the next paragraph.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city performed especially well in our inspections category. In fact, some of its facilities received almost flawless inspection reports this year. As a result, Pilot Point received one of our highest ratings in that area with an A. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. In addition, Pilot Point also earned one of our better scores in our long-term care category, with a grade of B+. In the other categories we looked at, Pilot Point were awarded a C for its short-term care score and a grade of D for nursing. In spite of an otherwise decent profile, a nursing grade of this caliber may be an ominous sign for levels of nurse staffing.
