When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
