We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Based on its score in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed.

This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5.1 percent of its residents returning home.

We found that this facility vaccinated just 48.32536 percent of its patients, which is somewhat concerning. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations.
