Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive.

Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

The last area we looked at was nursing. This facility was awarded a very good nursing grade this year, with a C. Even though this was not as elite as a few of its other grades, this is nevertheless a respectable grade in that category.

This is a low total compared to most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed.
