On top of performing well overall, this nursing home also received a nearly flawless inspection report. Consequently, it earned one of our best grades in that area with an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
