Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L.

A few relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

This really was one of the few weak points in a very solid profile. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes.
