Green House residents are older and sicker than traditional nursing homes (NHs)
COVID-19 case rates in Green Houses (GHs) were half that of NHs
COVID-19 mortality rates in GHs were less than half that of small NHs
GH residents were shielded from COVID-19 due to facility size (10-12 beds)
GHs’ care model and efficient communication may contribute to the positive outcome
