In addition to providing impressive levels of nursing care, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. This combination proved to be effective as this place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
