Facility Inspections
On top of a strong overall score, this nursing home also earned impressive health inspections in recent years. We gave it a solid score in that area, with a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L.
