This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
