One of the many reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports.
