When compared to national averages, the facility presents a mixed profile across its CMS component ratings. The overall 2-star rating is below the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in part by the 1-star health inspection rating, which suggests a higher number or severity of deficiencies identified during state inspection surveys relative to the national norm. The staffing rating of 3 stars aligns with the national average, indicating that staffing levels are consistent with typical facilities across the country. The quality measure rating of 5 stars is a notable strength, representing the top tier of performance in clinical outcome measures among all rated facilities nationally.
