This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its score in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home.
