Staffing Rating
Hawthorne Center For Rehabilitation And Healing earns 4 out of 5 stars overall, which puts it above average compared to other nursing facilities across the country. That overall rating is built from three separate scores that each measure something different, and the combination of those pieces is what drives the final number. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the facility falls in the average range when it comes to citations from state inspectors - think of this as a record of how often surveyors found problems during their visits and how serious those problems were. The staffing rating is also 3 stars, which means the nurses and aides are providing a fairly typical number of care hours per resident each day, not a standout amount but not a concern either. Where Hawthorne Center really shines is in its quality measures rating, a perfect 5 stars. This score looks at 15 real clinical outcomes for residents - things like whether people are developing pressure sores, experiencing falls, losing too much weight, or getting infections - and a 5 here means the facility is performing much better than average on those health outcomes.
For families, that quality measures score is often the most meaningful of the three, because it reflects what is actually happening to residents day to day in terms of their physical health and wellbeing. The average scores in inspections and staffing are worth keeping an eye on, but they don't cancel out the strong outcomes data. Taken together, the 4-star overall rating suggests this is a solid, above-average choice worth a closer look.

About CMS Star Ratings
CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.
A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
