I've never seen anywhere but a summer home that has no three-pronged outlets. Even the 30 year old mobile home we lived at was fine.

To TEST that they actually ARE grounded and hooked up properly, you can go to home depot, and get a $5-$10 outlet tester that will tell you if it's grounded correctly, AND if the white/black wires are hooked up right or backwards.
