Although this wasn't on par with some of this facility's other scores, it is still not a poor grade. In determining our long-term care ratings, we scrutinize the personal care offered to the facility's patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 90.90909 percent of its residents. This is somewhat below what we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
