Freedom Plaza Care Center

Freedom Plaza Care Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is about as strong as it gets. That top-level rating is a composite picture, meaning it pulls together three separate scores to give families a quick sense of how a facility is doing across different areas. Here is what each piece actually tells you. The health inspection rating is a perfect 5 stars, which means state inspectors have found very few, if any, serious problems during their visits. That is a good sign that the facility is being run safely and that issues get caught and corrected. The staffing rating is also 5 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you would typically see elsewhere. More staff time generally means faster responses, more personalized attention, and less chance of a resident going unnoticed when something is wrong. The one area worth noting is the quality measures rating, which comes in at 3 stars, or average. This score looks at 15 clinical outcomes, things like whether residents are experiencing falls, pressure wounds, or changes in mobility. An average score here does not mean anything is wrong, but it does suggest that health outcomes for residents are in line with what you would see at a typical facility rather than standing out as exceptional. Families should feel good about the overall picture at Freedom Plaza, and asking the staff directly about how they track and address those clinical outcomes is a reasonable next step.
