When assessed against national benchmarks, this facility presents a mixed profile. The overall 5-star rating is notably higher than the national average of 3.0 stars.

However, the quality measure component, rated at 2 stars, is below average when compared to the national standard. Prospective residents and their families may wish to review each rating category independently, as the composite score reflects a weighted combination of these distinct performance areas. CMS updates these ratings periodically based on new inspection cycles, staffing reports, and updated clinical data, so consulting current CMS sources is recommended for the most up-to-date information.
