Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this place ended up being a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is as good as it gets in this very important area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
