Staffing Rating
Golfcrest Nursing Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which puts it in average territory compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite built from three separate ratings, so it helps to look at each piece on its own. The health inspection rating, also 3 stars, reflects the findings from state inspections over the past few years, including how many citations the facility received and how serious they were. An average score here means inspectors found some issues, though nothing that sets this facility apart as particularly concerning or particularly clean.
The stronger scores come from staffing and quality measures, both rated 4 stars, meaning above average. The staffing rating tells you that nurses at Golfcrest are spending more time with residents than you would see at a typical facility, which can make a real difference in day-to-day care and how quickly needs get addressed. The quality measures rating looks at 15 clinical outcomes, things like whether residents are experiencing falls, pressure sores, or changes in mobility, and a 4-star score there suggests residents are generally faring well on those health benchmarks. Taken together, the picture is a facility that performs well on hands-on care and resident health outcomes, with room for improvement on the inspection side.

3. If my loved one has a problem or feels unsafe, what is the process for reporting it, and how quickly does a supervisor respond?
4. Can you walk me through exactly what a typical day looks like for a resident who needs help with bathing, meals, and getting around?
5. How do you handle situations where a resident's condition changes overnight, and who contacts the family and how quickly?
6. What does your most recent state inspection report show, and are there any deficiencies you are currently working to correct?

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.
