One of the reasons this place ended up being a quality nursing home is it received an A+ in our inspections category. This is as good as it gets in this very important area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death.
