Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home provided the vaccine to 82.608696 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we expected. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
