The last category we scored was long-term care, which is a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a D in the area of long-term care. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids.

This facility vaccinated 93.05019 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is slightly lower than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure.
