Kenmore, NY – July 9, 2019 – Schofield Residence, Ken-Ton’s independent non-profit long term care organization is a 5-STAR out of 5-STAR Nursing Home on Medicare.gov. Medicare assigns the overall star rating based on a nursing home’s performance on key measures: health inspections, quality measures and staffing.

“We’re so pleased to be recognized with this top rating,” notes Olivia Rozycki, administrator of Schofield Residence. “Our staff works very hard and was also awarded 5 out of 5 stars overall for quality measures. This is much above the average for New York State and National averages.”
