Our inspection grades are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspections. Nursing homes that excel in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety.
