Medicare five-star ratings

  • Overall ★★★★★ 3/5
  • Health inspections ★★★★★ 4/5
  • Staffing Not reported
  • Quality measures ★★★★★ 2/5

This community did not file the payroll return CMS uses to work out nursing hours. CMS scores a missing return as one star, which looks the same on this page as a home that reported and staffs thinly, so we leave the staffing score out rather than show you a number that says nothing about its nurses. The missing return does still count against the overall score above. It is a fair thing to ask about on a tour: how many staff are on at night, and at weekends.

A citation on its own does not mean poor care, and most are corrected within weeks. What matters most is how serious the findings were and whether the same problems keep coming back. When you visit, it is fair to ask the administrator what inspectors found and what has changed since.
