Facility Inspections
With an overall grade this high, it should come as no surprise that this nursing home performed well in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L.

A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
