The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities across several domains. Health Care Inc holds an overall CMS star rating of 3 out of 5, which matches the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection rating is 3 out of 5, reflecting the results of state and federal inspection surveys conducted at the facility. The staffing rating stands at 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average and indicates lower levels of nursing staff relative to resident population when compared to similar facilities nationwide.

When considered in the context of national benchmarks, Health Care Inc presents a mixed profile. The overall 3-star rating aligns with the national average, suggesting a facility that meets baseline performance standards across combined measures. The quality measure rating of 3 stars similarly reflects national norms in clinical care indicators. However, the staffing rating of 2 stars is a notable area where the facility falls below the national average, which may be a relevant consideration for those evaluating staffing intensity as a factor in care decisions. The health inspection rating of 3 stars indicates that inspection outcomes are in line with what is observed at an average facility nationwide. CMS ratings are updated periodically based on new inspection data, staffing reports, and quality measure calculations, so current ratings should be verified through official CMS sources for the most up-to-date information.
