About this facility

CMS does not report healthcare-associated infection measures (catheter-associated urinary tract infections or C. diff) for this facility, which often reflects low case counts rather than any indication of quality concerns.
Overall, based on the measures CMS has published, this facility is rated better than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 reported measures and worse than the national benchmark on 0 of 5 measures — its reported results fall in line with national rates. Families are encouraged to consult CMS Care Compare directly for the most current details and to contact the facility with specific questions.
