We also found that this facility has earned favorable inspections in recent years. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is better than many nursing homes in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
