It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report.

This facility vaccinated 87.5 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is a few points less than we were hoping for but still a decent figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
