This is really the gold standard in this area, as it's approximately 1.5 times higher than a typical place's level of registered nurse staffing. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities with 60 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly better rate than most nursing homes.

In addition to providing elite levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 97.95222 percent of its patients. This statistic is also significantly higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.
