Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.66997 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
