In addition, this facility earned a very good government inspection report this year as well. For this reason, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Our long-term care grades are pivotal for patients looking for personal care. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics.
