Medicare's ratings for this nursing home
- Overall rating
- 1 of 5
- Health inspections
- 1 of 5
- Staffing
- 1 of 5
- Quality measures
- 2 of 5
A combined score Medicare computes from the three domains below, starting from the health inspection rating and adjusting up or down for staffing and quality measures.
What it misses: It is a formula, not a judgment about whether a place will feel right for your family, and a single recent problem can hide inside a decent average.
Results of the state's unannounced on-site inspections and complaint investigations over roughly the last three years, weighted toward the most recent cycle. This is the only domain based entirely on independent observers walking the building.
What it misses: Inspections are a sample of days, not a camera in the hallway. A facility can look fine on inspection day and still be short-staffed on weekends.
Nurse and aide hours per resident per day, from payroll records, adjusted for how sick the residents are. Staffing level is one of the strongest predictors of care quality that exists in the data.
What it misses: Averages can mask thin weekends and overnight shifts, and hours say nothing about turnover in the people your parent will actually know. We show weekend hours and turnover separately below for that reason.
Rates of things like pressure sores, falls with injury, infections, and hospital readmissions, computed from the facility's own required resident assessments and claims data.
What it misses: Much of it is self-reported by the facility. Treat a low score seriously; treat a high score as a starting point to verify, not a promise.
