Considering its score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
