Facility Inspections

Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
