Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, the nursing homes in Huntsville performed remarkably well in the area of inspections. In fact, some of its facilities received virtually perfect inspection reports this year. As a result, Huntsville received one of our highest ratings in that category with an A. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. In addition, the city also received strong long-term care rating where it earned a B+ in this area. Finally, the city received grades of C and D for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively. Despite an otherwise decent profile, a nursing score this poor may be a bad sign for nursing staffing levels.
