Although this was not as high as some of this facility's other scores, it is still not the end of the world. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe.

This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
