In addition, this facility also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that area with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A few relatively minor dings aren't the end of the world.
