Regarding healthcare-associated infections, the facility's catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate is no different than the national benchmark, while its C. difficile infection rate is better than the national benchmark.
Overall, of the five measures CMS reports for this facility, it performs better than the national benchmark on two measures and worse than the national benchmark on one, with the remaining measures showing no difference.
