This nursing home really excelled in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of A.

This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue.

In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
