You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared to most nursing homes.
