This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. We were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our last category, we gave this nursing home a grade of A+ for our nursing rating. This rounded out an elite report card. In determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we look at the number of hours nurses are seeing patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
