You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
