The nursing score is based on a handful of components, but the paramount one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place.

This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy.
