Staffing Rating
Taylor Care Center earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it well above most nursing homes nationwide. That overall rating is built from three separate scores, each measuring something different, so it gives you a more complete picture than a single number alone.
On health inspections, the facility scored a perfect 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found very few or no significant problems during their visits - a strong sign that the facility is being run safely and that issues get caught and corrected. The quality measures rating also came in at 5 stars, which reflects strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like wound care, fall rates, and pain management - things that directly affect how residents feel and function day to day. Staffing landed at 4 stars, which is still above average and means residents are getting solid attention from nurses and aides, even if it falls just short of the top tier. Taken together, these scores suggest Taylor Care Center is a well-run facility that delivers consistent, high-quality care - and that's exactly what families should be looking for.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have your charge nurses and CNAs been working here on average, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my family member had a fall or a sudden change in condition overnight, walk me through exactly what would happen and who would contact us.
4. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and can you explain any deficiencies that were cited and what you did to fix them?
5. How do you handle a resident who refuses a meal, misses activities, or starts to seem withdrawn - who notices that, and what do you actually do about it?
6. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who is mobile and social versus one who needs help with most daily tasks?

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.
