This category is frequently a reliable assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses.

We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, we look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls.
