Individuals and families seeking specific coverage details are encouraged to contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits counselor. When compared to national benchmarks, Burns Nursing Home presents a mixed profile across its rated categories. The overall 2-star rating places it below the national average, driven in part by the below-average health inspection score. However, the staffing and quality measure ratings of 4 stars each indicate that the facility performs above average in those specific domains. The health inspection rating reflects findings from onsite surveys conducted by state inspectors on behalf of CMS, and a lower score in this area can indicate a higher frequency or severity of cited deficiencies during those reviews. The stronger staffing and quality scores suggest that day-to-day care delivery and clinical outcomes metrics are more aligned with or above national norms.
