Facility Inspections
Finally, we also gave this facility a score of B for our inspections category. This facility didn't have any major weak links.

It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
