It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale.

However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.
