The staffing rating of 4 out of 5 is above the national average, suggesting that the facility maintains a relatively higher level of nursing and aide staff relative to its resident population. However, the overall rating and health inspection rating of 1 out of 5 each fall notably below the national average of 3.0 stars. Health inspection ratings are based on the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies cited during standard surveys and complaint investigations. A rating of 1 in this category indicates a greater number or severity of cited deficiencies compared to most facilities nationally.
