Facility Inspections

Since this data is collected by independent government inspectors, we tend to heavily weight negative feedback in this area. This really dragged down this facility's overall grade. For places that received this poor of an inspection grade, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was hit with a category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies found by CMS had potential to create actual harm to patients. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed significant government fines recently totaling more than $100,000. This usually indicates that a poor track record has been an issue for multiple years.
