This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world.

This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is far below average. Finally, nursing ratings also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
