Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations.
