Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 45 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be significantly below the national average.
