This means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Our nursing category analyzes quite a few components, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This number is quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
