This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third best category turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most critical for those in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our final category, inspections proved to be this nursing home's worst area. It received a grade of C in this area. Inspection grades are based on a nursing home's government inspection reports. We would argue that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you that it dodged the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
