This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Finally, nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

The last category we assessed was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy.

The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
