This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety.

While this is not nearly as good as several of its other grades, this remains an acceptable rating for that area. Long-term care grades are meaningful for residents seeking personal care.
