Westminster Towers

Westminster Towers earns an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which puts it right at average compared to nursing homes across the country. That composite score is shaped by three separate ratings, and in this case, they tell a pretty mixed story. The health inspection rating comes in at 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found more citations, or more serious ones, than you'd typically see at a comparable facility. The staffing rating is also 2 stars, which reflects that nurses are spending fewer hours with residents than the national average - something worth asking the facility about directly, since it can affect how quickly staff respond to residents' needs day to day. Where Westminster Towers really stands out is in its Quality Measures rating, which is a full 5 stars. This score is based on 15 clinical indicators that track actual resident health outcomes - things like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and pain management. A top score there suggests that despite the staffing and inspection concerns, residents are experiencing strong clinical outcomes. That's meaningful, though families should weigh all three pieces together. The inspection and staffing ratings are worth digging into further before making a final decision.
