THE GARDENS REHAB & CARE CENTER

The Gardens Rehab & Care Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That top-level rating is a composite that blends three separate scores, and it's worth knowing what's underneath it. The health inspection rating is also 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found very few, if any, serious citations when they reviewed the facility. That's a strong signal that the home is well-run on a compliance level and that regulators haven't flagged major safety or care concerns. The quality measures rating sits at 3 stars, which is average. That score is based on 15 clinical indicators like how often residents develop pressure sores, falls, or lose mobility, so it suggests the facility is middle-of-the-pack in terms of measurable health outcomes for residents. The area to ask about is staffing, which comes in at 2 stars, meaning below average. This rating reflects how many hours of nursing care residents receive each day relative to the number of people living there. A lower staffing score can translate to longer wait times for help, less one-on-one attention, and staff who may feel stretched thin. It doesn't automatically mean care is poor, but it's worth asking the facility directly about their nurse-to-resident ratios and how they handle staffing on nights and weekends. The overall 5-star rating is largely driven by the strong inspection score, so keep the staffing and quality numbers in mind as you tour and ask questions.
