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 deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we were able to find deficiency data for this facility. We would like to have more data for this facility. Without having the deficiency related data, it ended up being difficult to grade this facility in terms of this category.
