Brookwood Gardens Rehabilitation And Nursing Cente

Brookwood Gardens Rehabilitation And Nursing Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing homes nationally. That overall score is a composite built from three separate ratings, and in this case the pieces tell two pretty different stories. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found a higher number of citations, or more serious ones, than you would typically see at an average facility. That is the category that pulls the overall rating down, and for families it is worth looking closely at what those citations were actually for, since inspection reports are publicly available on Medicare's website. The good news is that the other two ratings are genuinely strong. Staffing earned 4 stars, which means the facility provides above-average nurse hours relative to how many residents it cares for. More staff time per resident generally translates to faster responses, more attentive care, and less burnout among caregivers. Quality Measures also came in at 4 stars, reflecting above-average outcomes across 15 clinical markers like hospital readmissions, falls, pressure wounds, and how residents function day to day. Those two ratings together suggest the hands-on care at this facility is a real strength. The gap between the inspection record and the care outcomes is something families should explore directly with the facility when they visit.
