As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in this area with an A. Inspection scores are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

The key is determining what bearing this had on quality of care. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home.
