Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a resident at least once a day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Finally, we looked at this nursing home's inspection grade This did not end up being one of this facility's better grades. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This isn't a horrible score in this category. It simply wasn't as favorable as some of this facility's other grades.
