LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR SACRED HEART RESIDENCE

Little Sisters of the Poor Sacred Heart Residence holds a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which reflects strong performance across most areas of care. The health inspection rating of 5 stars is particularly reassuring for families, as it means state inspectors found very few, if any, serious problems during their visits. A clean inspection record suggests the facility is well-managed and consistently meeting care standards. The staffing rating also comes in at 5 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending significantly more time with residents compared to most other nursing homes. For families, that translates to more attentive, hands-on care day to day. The one area worth a closer look is the quality measures rating, which sits at 2 stars. This score is based on 15 clinical indicators, things like how often residents experience falls, pressure sores, or declines in mobility. A below-average score here does not necessarily mean care is unsafe, but it does suggest that resident health outcomes in some of these tracked areas may not be keeping pace with what higher-rated facilities are achieving. It is a good topic to raise directly with the facility when you visit. The overall 5-star rating is a composite that leans heavily on the inspection and staffing scores, which is why it stays high despite the lower quality measures result. Families should weigh all three pieces together rather than relying on the overall number alone.
