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

Grade: A

Lastly, this facility has received near flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. This is one of the few facilities in the state to receive an A- or better in every single category. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies.
