With just three nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of options to choose from in Westland, Michigan. These facilities didn't really excel from a quality point of view either. The city was awarded a city grade of C, which is not one of our stronger grades at the city level. This score is not the end of the world, but it is well below average by national standards. Please continue reading to learn more about how this city's nursing homes fared in our category grades.
It should also be noted that this city's inspection score was better than its overall grade. In fact, we gave Westland a B+ for its inspection rating, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection ratings are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. In addition, Westland also earned one of our higher scores in the area of nursing, with a B. In the other categories we looked at, the city received grades of B- and D for our short-term care and long-term care areas respectively. In spite of an otherwise respectable profile, a long-term care rating of this caliber may be a problem for some prospective residents.
