Its staffing rating of 4 stars is above the national average, indicating relatively higher reported staffing levels than many comparable facilities across the country. The health inspection and quality measure ratings, each at 3 stars, align with national norms. These ratings are updated periodically by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and reflect data collected through ongoing federal and state oversight processes.
