Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we gave it an A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with a list of deficiencies flagged. This nursing home was assessed 3 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 didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
