In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, many of the facilities in Pulaski performed remarkably well in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded the city an A for this category, which is one of our highest scores. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. The city also received strong short-term care rating with a grade of B+ in this category. Finally, Pulaski earned middle of the road grades for our nursing and long-term care categories.
