Ambassador Healthcare At College Park

Ambassador Healthcare At College Park holds an overall 2-out-of-5-star rating from CMS, meaning it falls below average when you look at the full picture. That overall score is shaped by three separate ratings that each tell you something different about the facility, and in this case, those three pieces paint a pretty mixed portrait. The health inspection rating is 1 out of 5 stars, which is the lowest possible score. This comes from state inspectors who visit the facility and document any problems they find, ranging from minor paperwork issues to serious care concerns. A score this low means inspectors cited more issues, or more serious ones, than what you'd typically see at other nursing homes. The staffing rating sits at 2 out of 5 stars, meaning nurses are spending fewer hours with residents than the average facility provides, which can affect how quickly staff respond to needs and how closely residents are monitored day to day. On the brighter side, the quality measures rating is a perfect 5 out of 5 stars, reflecting strong outcomes across 15 clinical benchmarks like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and medication use. That's genuinely good news and worth noting. The challenge for families is weighing that clinical performance against the inspection and staffing concerns, because even good outcomes on paper can be harder to sustain when staffing is stretched and inspectors have flagged ongoing issues.
