Although this wasn't nearly as impressive as many of its other category grades, this is still a respectable rating for that area. In our long-term care rating, we assess the volume of services provided by a facility, along with a series of quality statistics. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
