Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

While this nursing home didn't excel in nursing hours, it surprised us in a few of the quality-based assessments in the nursing category, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed above average in this metric, which is one redeeming quality we found in this area.
