CROWNE HEALTH CARE OF MONTGOMERY

Crowne Health Care of Montgomery holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which means it performs above average when you look at the full picture. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, and two of them are genuinely strong. The Health Inspection rating of 4 stars tells you that state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here compared to most facilities, which is a good sign that the home is being run carefully and residents are living in a safe environment. The Staffing rating of 4 stars means nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you'd find at a typical facility, and that tends to make a real difference in the day-to-day care your loved one receives. The one area worth a closer look is the Quality Measures rating, which comes in at 2 stars, or below average. This score is based on 15 clinical and physical health indicators, things like whether residents are experiencing pain, losing weight, developing pressure sores, or declining in mobility. A lower score here doesn't necessarily mean care is poor overall, but it does mean families should ask questions during a visit about how the facility tracks and responds to changes in resident health. Because the overall rating blends all three scores together, the stronger inspection and staffing numbers help carry the composite to 4 stars, but the quality measures gap is something to keep in mind as you make your decision.
