ENGLEWOOD HEALTH CARE CENTER

Englewood Health Care Center holds an overall 4-star rating, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, so it helps to look at each one individually to get a clearer picture. On the health inspection side, the facility also earns 4 stars, which is a good sign. State inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most facilities, meaning the home has generally been meeting care and safety standards when put under the microscope. Staffing also comes in at 4 stars, so nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you'd typically see elsewhere - that tends to translate to quicker responses and more attentive day-to-day care. The one area worth paying attention to is quality measures, which scores 2 stars, meaning it falls below average on clinical outcomes like things such as rates of falls, pressure sores, and infections among residents. This gap between the strong inspection and staffing scores and the lower quality outcomes score is worth asking the facility about directly - it doesn't necessarily disqualify the home, but it's a real conversation to have when you visit.
