When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care.

This nursing home gave the vaccine to 89.78494 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly lower than what we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations.
