Facility Inspections
This facility also received an A+ inspection score, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This score is based on the facility's government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the biggest complements we can pay to a facility. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
