In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe.

Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
