Memorial Manor

Memorial Manor 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 a composite of three separate scores, each measuring something different about how a facility operates, so it helps to look at each piece on its own. On staffing, Memorial Manor scores a perfect 5 stars, meaning nurses spend significantly more time with residents than the national average. For families, that translates to quicker responses, more attentive day-to-day care, and less of the understaffing that tends to be a root cause of problems in nursing homes. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, which means state inspectors found fewer and less serious violations than most facilities - a reassuring sign that the basics of safe, compliant care are being handled well. The one area worth a conversation with the facility is quality measures, which sits at 3 stars, or average. This score reflects clinical outcomes across 15 tracked health indicators, things like rates of falls, pressure ulcers, or hospital readmissions. Average is not alarming, but families may want to ask the admissions team which specific measures bring that score down and what steps the facility is taking to improve them.
