We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our inspection grades are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety.
