Long-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled in long-term care. In fact, we gave it an A for that category. This salvaged its overall profile.

In fact, it offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home.
