THE TERRACE AT COURTENAY SPRINGS

The Terrace At Courtenay Springs holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which puts it below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and in this case, the weaker scores are pulling the total down despite one bright spot. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found a higher-than-average number of citations or more serious violations during their visits. That's worth paying attention to, since those inspections are designed to catch real problems with care, safety, and facility conditions. On the positive side, the staffing rating is a strong 4 stars, which tells you that nurses are spending more time with residents than you'd see at many comparable facilities. More staff time generally means more attentive day-to-day care. The quality measures rating lands at 3 stars, which is right at the national average. This score looks at 15 clinical outcomes, things like whether residents are experiencing falls, pressure wounds, or declines in mobility, and a middle-of-the-road score here means the facility is keeping pace with most others but isn't standing out. Taken together, the staffing picture is genuinely encouraging, but the inspection history is the piece families should dig into further. Asking the facility directly about any recent citations and what steps they've taken to address them would be a smart next move before making a decision.
