Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients.

Nurse Quality
This facility's worst area is nursing, which is the final category we analyzed. We gave it a lowly F in this area. Despite multiple impressive scores in other areas, this score is nevertheless somewhat alarming so we would like to to make sure you are aware. Our nursing score is based on many subcategories, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. While this place did not excel in nursing hours, it surprised us in some of the quality-based assessments in the nursing category, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this statistic, which was one redeeming quality we found in this category.
