Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall score was not a highlight, it did receive a very good score in the area of inspections. We gave it a grade of B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection scores are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
