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 frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving residents more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was long-term care, in which this facility was given a grade of B. This actually was this facility's least impressive category. A facility is doing something right when it's worst score still rates higher than most facilities. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids.

This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.
