Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
