Quality measures — how residents actually fare

Quality-measure stars summarize outcomes CMS tracks from the assessments each home submits — avoidable hospitalizations and ER visits, falls with injury, pressure ulcers, unplanned weight loss, and long-term antipsychotic use. Because the underlying data is self-reported, weigh a high score against the independent inspection record. Long-stay = permanent residents; short-stay = rehab and post-hospital stays.

Short-stay rehab — if you are coming here from a hospital

Arriving from a hospital right now? Read the discharge guide → — your appeal rights, how to slow a rushed discharge, and what to ask about the numbers below.

45.1% of the Medicare patients who left this home got back to the community and stayed there for at least 31 days — which CMS reads as no different from the national rate. This is CMS’s risk-adjusted rate over 298 Medicare stays in Oct 2022–Sep 2024, and CMS’s own comparison — not ours.

Met the expected recovery: 55.8% of this home’s Medicare short-stay residents left it at or above the ability to care for themselves and move around that CMS predicted for them, across 154 stays in Oct 2024–Sep 2025. The median of the 11,061 homes CMS publishes this for is 56.6%. Read it beside the getting-home figure, not instead of it: unlike the two measures above, CMS makes no better-or-worse call on this one and publishes no confidence interval for it, so this is a comparison and not a verdict — but it is the short-stay measure that separates homes most, and the one to ask about.

This section is about rehab stays, not living here. Most of this page — the stars, the quality measures, the inspection record — describes the home the way a permanent resident experiences it. These figures describe the short Medicare stay after a hospital discharge: a hip, a stroke, a bad infection, six weeks and home. They are different residents, different staff, often a different wing. Therapy hours are per resident in the building, not per rehab patient — the count includes every long-stay resident, and they mostly get no therapy at all. So a home with a small rehab wing inside a large nursing population reads low here even if its rehab patients get plenty of therapy, and a mostly-rehab home reads high. Use it to compare homes doing similar work, ask what a rehab resident actually gets in a day, and remember that CMS does not publish therapy minutes per patient — nobody does.

Staffing

No payroll-based (PBJ) staffing hours are on file for this home — and the record suggests that is because it did not report them. CMS rates its staffing 1 of 5, which is the rating CMS assigns when a home does not report. Every Medicare-certified nursing home is required to submit its actual payroll data quarterly, and that submission is what makes staffing numbers auditable rather than a claim. A home that does not file is not the same as a home with no data yet: ask this home directly what its nurse-to-resident ratios and weekend RN coverage are, why its payroll data is not filed, and weigh the independent health-inspection score heavily in the meantime.

Inspection trend

Deficiencies are more than at the previous inspection — worsening. Fewer citations over time suggests a home is fixing problems; a rising count is a warning sign — though two surveys are a short record, and survey teams differ. These counts are from the standard annual health survey only; the full citation list below may also include findings from complaint investigations, so the two won’t always add up.

Inspection deficiencies

State health-inspection citations, most serious first. Each carries an F-code (the federal rule it cites, e.g. F-684 = quality of care) and a letter A–L marking how serious and how widespread the problem was — we translate that grid into the plain tiers shown here. Wording is the official federal description.

Each letter is a CMS scope-severity level; highlighted ones are where this home has citations. A–C = no harm found; D–F = potential for harm; G–I = actual harm; J–L = immediate jeopardy. Within each band the later letter is the more widespread finding (an isolated G is one resident; a widespread I is a pattern), so rightward and downward is worse.

• Potential for harm · D2025-04-25 · tag F0656 — failed to write and follow a full care plan — isolated
  Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured.
  What the surveyor found here — an excerpt from the official record, may be distressing

  Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide a comprehensive plan of care for 2 of 2 residents sampled for care plans. (Resident #21 and #24) The findings include: Resident #21 A record review of Resident #21's electronic medical record (EMR) revealed that the resident is dependent on staff for activities for daily living. A review of the care plan developed by the facility for Resident #21 did not include an intervention to address the need for assistance in activities for daily living. On 4/23/2025 at approximately 1:00 PM, an interview was conducted with the Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDS) and Care Plan Coordinator. The Care Plan Coordinator confirmed that there was not a care plan for Resident #21 in regards to activities of daily living. The Care Plan Coordinator further indicated that the information did trigger from the MDS and should have been included in the care plan. Resident #24 A record review was conducted on Resident #24's EMR concerning End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and dependence on hemodialysis services. The care plan…

  This is the beginning of the surveyor’s statement, cut to keep the page readable — the full 2567 continues past this point and often ends with the findings that matter most, such as whether an immediate jeopardy was removed before the surveyors left. The complete statement of deficiencies is a public record: request it from your state survey agency, or ask the home for its 2567 and plan of correction — it must make them available to residents and families.

  Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
  What the surveyor found here — an excerpt from the official record, may be distressing

  Based on observation, record review, staff interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure staff provide appropriate care and services to promote healing and prevent cross contamination of pressure ulcers for 1 of 1 sampled residents with pressure ulcers. (Resident #43) The findings include: A review of Resident #43's medical record was conducted which revealed she had a stage 3 pressure ulcer on her sacrum. An observation of wound care for Resident #43 was conducted on 9/20/2022 at 12:51 PM with Employee A (Licensed Practical Nurse). Employee A gathered supplies for the wound care from the treatment cart to include a bottle of wound cleanser dated 9/3/2022, took the supplies to the resident's room, and placed them on the over bed table with no barrier on the table. Employee A washed her hands and applied clean gloves, removed the old dressing from the resident's sacrum, removed the bottle of wound cleanser from the over bed table and set it on the resident's bed, then picked up the bottle of wound cleanser and used it to clean the wound. Employee A then applied gauze…

  NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on observations, interviews, record review, and policy review, the facility failed to implement safety precautions related to smoking to ensure the resident environment remained as free of accident hazards as possible for 1 of 1 sampled residents who smoked tobacco products. (Resident #8) The findings include: An observation was conducted for Resident #8 on 9/19/2022 at 1:10 PM. The resident was outside on the smoking patio, which is located outside the dining room, smoking a cigarette. No staff were present on the patio at this time. He was observed to have his cigarettes and lighter in a plastic bag and lit his own cigarette. He was again observed to be smoking on the patio on 9/21/2022 at 8:50 AM with no staff present. An interview was conducted with Resident #8 on 9/21/2022 at 11:41 AM. He stated he keeps his cigarettes and lighter in his room in the dresser drawer. I observed the resident remove his cigarettes and lighter from an unlocked dresser drawer in his room. No locking mechanism was observed…

Fines & penalties

No federal fines in the current CMS record.

Part of a chain

This home belongs to MAXIMUS HEALTHCARE GROUP — 7 facilities. Here is how its ratings compare with the chain’s average across all its homes: See the whole chain — ratings, flags, fines and finances →

A home rated well below its chain’s average can signal local problems; a chain with a low average across the board is a bigger pattern worth researching. CMS chain data under-reports private-equity and REIT ownership, so treat this as a floor, not the full picture.

Who owns this facility

1 organizational owner listed — a facility can be part of a larger chain. CMS ownership data is known to under-report private-equity and REIT ties; treat as a starting point.

Follow the money — this home’s finances

Where a nursing home’s revenue comes from and where it goes — including money paid to companies under the same ownership. Most consumer sites never show this; we reproduce it straight from the Medicare cost report.

This home reported $380K paid to related parties (affiliated landlords or management companies) in its most recent cost report.

Source: CMS Healthcare Provider Cost Reporting Information System (HCRIS), Medicare cost report Form CMS-2540 · fiscal year 2023. Facilities self-file these reports; figures are unaudited and a year or two behind. A home with no Medicare cost report on file shows no figures here.

Cost & finances

Straight from this home’s Medicare cost report (CMS, FY2023). These are its operating economics — what it costs to run per resident-day and what it collects on average across Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay — not a private-pay quote. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on payer and room type, so ask the facility directly; a higher operating cost can reflect richer staffing or a sicker population. The cost-of-care planner shows regional benchmarks by care type.
