We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe.
