Places with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L.

Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
