On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia.

Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
