Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. You should be especially cautious when considering a nursing home that has severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat to patient health or safety.
