Places that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety.

This facility was awarded impressive grades in the area of short-term care as well. Indeed, we awarded it one of our most superb scores in that category with a area of A-.

Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
