Facility Inspections
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
