PARKWOOD HEALTH CARE FACILITY

Parkwood Health Care Facility earns an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it well above average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall rating is a composite of three separate scores, so it helps to look at each one individually. The staffing rating is a perfect 5 stars, meaning the facility dedicates significantly more nurse hours per resident than most facilities do - practically speaking, that means your loved one is more likely to get timely, attentive care rather than waiting on an overworked staff. The quality measures rating is also 5 stars, which reflects strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like wound care, fall rates, and infection management - these are real-world results that show how well residents are actually faring. The health inspection rating comes in at 3 stars, which is average, meaning state inspectors found a typical number and severity of citations during their visits. This isn't a red flag on its own, but it is worth asking the facility directly about any recent citations and what they did to address them. The good news is that the two strongest predictors of day-to-day care quality - staffing levels and clinical outcomes - are both excellent here. The health inspection score, while only average, is somewhat offset by how well the facility performs where it counts most for residents' comfort and health. For most families, a 5-star overall rating backed by top marks in staffing and quality measures is a genuinely encouraging sign.
