This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

This nursing home didn't have any major weak links. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Surprisingly, this nursing home was assessed a category L deficiency, which was unexpected based on its inspection score. This category means inspectors identified a widespread deficiency placing resident health or safety in imminent danger. In spite of this major red flag, other aspects of this facility's inspection report gave us some hope.
