One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
