Staffing Rating
Traylor Retirement Community earns an overall 4-star rating, which means it performs above average compared to other nursing homes nationally. That overall number is a composite that weighs together three separate scores, so it's worth looking at each one individually to get the full picture. The staffing and quality measures ratings are both 5 stars, which is the highest possible. Five stars on staffing means nurses are spending significantly more time with residents than at a typical facility, which translates to more attentive, hands-on care day to day. The 5-star quality measures score reflects strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators, things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents infections, and maintains residents' physical function. Those two ratings together suggest that once your loved one is inside, the care they receive is genuinely excellent.
The one area to be aware of is the health inspection rating, which comes in at 2 stars, meaning it's below average. This score is based on findings from state inspectors who visit the facility and document any violations or concerns they observe. A lower inspection score doesn't automatically mean residents are in danger, but it does mean inspectors have cited this facility more often or more seriously than most. It's worth asking the facility directly about recent inspection findings and what steps they've taken to address them. When you put it all together, Traylor shows real strengths in day-to-day care delivery, but the inspection history is a fair reason to ask some extra questions before making a final decision.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number change on evenings and weekends?
2. How long have your nursing staff and CNAs been working here on average, and what is your turnover rate over the past year?
3. If my loved one has a concern or a complaint, who do they talk to, and can you walk me through how that actually gets handled?
4. How do you handle falls - what happens in the hours and days after a resident falls, and who contacts the family?
5. What does a typical weekday look like for a resident who is mobile and social, and what activities are actually available versus just listed on paper?
6. Can I see your most recent state inspection report, and can someone here explain any deficiencies that were cited?

About CMS Star Ratings
CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.
A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
