Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed.

This facility vaccinated 93.63637 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat less than we expected but still a decent percentage.
