You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The key is determining what effect this had on quality of care.
