The nursing homes in Smithfield received an inspection score which is stronger than its overall grade. We gave it grade of B+ in this area. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This city earned its next best score in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-, which is also respectable. In our final two categories, the city were awarded a C for short-term care and a grade of D in the area of nursing. Even with an otherwise decent profile, a nursing grade this poor may be a bad sign for levels of nurse staffing.
