This dragged down this nursing home's overall score significantly. With nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection score, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was assessed multiple deficiencies in categories G through L, which rank among the more serious categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies identified by inspectors had the potential to create actual harm to patients. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines totaling over $100,000. This typically means that a bad performance has been an issue for multiple years.
