We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home has received near flawless health inspections recently. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this area.

You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies.
