This category is considered to be a meaningful assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing.

We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, nursing scores also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls.
