Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 65.75876 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
