With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a patient even once per day.

Grade: B-minus

The last area we looked at was long-term care. This facility received a favorable long-term care score in our assessment, with a grade of B-. Although this was not as elite as several of its other category grades, this is nevertheless an acceptable rating in that area.
