Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
