An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident health or safety.
