We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. In addition, we also wanted to point out that we awarded Merritt Island an A in our nursing rating. Wrapping up its straight A report card, this place received an A in our short-term care category and a grade of A- in the area of long-term care.
