To go along with its favorable overall score, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspection category.

Facilities with better grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
