While its overall rating was fairly ordinary, this city performed remarkably well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded Blountville an A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. The city earned a grade of B in the area of long-term care. Lastly, Blountville earned grades of C and D for our short-term care and nursing areas respectively. Even with an otherwise respectable profile, a nursing grade in this range may be an ominous sign for levels of nurse staffing.
