Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final area, this facility received an excellent long-term care rating. We awarded it an A in this area, giving this facility straight A's.

Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
