It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls.
