We were able to find only one nursing home in Palmetto, Florida. We awarded the city's sole nursing home a grade of B-, which is a a respectable score. For comparison's sake, we also assessed the facilities in the nearby city of North Port. With North Port receiving a terrible city grade, we found the facility in Palmetto to be in a totally different league than most of the facilities in North Port. The best part of this nursing home's profile is its exemplary inspection score. Inspection reports are discussed in the next paragraph.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city's sole nursing home performed remarkably well in our inspections category. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we awarded it one of our best scores in that category with an A-. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This city also earned a grade of B for our nursing category. In the last two categories, the city were awarded a B- for its short-term care rating and a C in the area of long-term care.
