This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.57143 percent of its residents. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations.

Facility Inspections
Lastly, turning to inspections, we gave this nursing home a C. Our inspection score is based on the nursing home's government inspection reports. While this is not a terrible score, it is this nursing home's weakest link. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. This facility had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you it dodged the more ominous categories of deficiencies. We really didn't find anything on this place's inspection report to be overly alarming.
