This facility gave the vaccine to 91.18943 percent of its residents. This is slightly less than we expected but still a respectable figure.

With only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
