Due to some of its nursing homes receiving favorable inspection reports this year, Palestine received one of our higher scores in this category with a grade of B+. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. In addition, Palestine also fared well in the category of long-term care with a B. Lastly, Palestine were awarded a C for its short-term care grade and a grade of D for nursing. Despite an otherwise decent profile, a nursing score this poor may be a bad sign for levels of nurse staffing.
