Hurst, Texas is a small city with 40,185 people. The city features just one nursing home, which is not the selection we were hoping for. This nursing home was awarded an overall grade of B, which is a quality grade. This is as good or better than the city grade of most of the cities in the nation. This place's impressive profile was highlighted by its inspection score, which is addressed in the next section.
As mentioned above, this city's only nursing home received a strong overall grade, but we also wanted to point out its nearly perfect health inspections in recent years. We gave it an elite grade of A in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This city also performed especially well in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it an A-. Wrapping up its report card, we awarded the city grades of B and F for our short-term care and nursing categories respectively. For the most part, this city's category grades were strong, but this weak nursing grade may suggest lower levels of nurse staffing.
