Facility Inspections
In addition to being an elite facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Very few places fared as well in this category. 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 meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor dings aren't something to panic about.
