Golfview Nursing Center

Golfview Nursing Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which means it falls in the average range compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different. The health inspection rating, also 3 stars, reflects findings from state inspections, looking at how many citations the facility received and how serious they were. A 3 here suggests inspectors found some issues but nothing that puts it in the concerning category. The staffing rating is also 3 stars, meaning the number of nursing hours residents receive relative to the number of residents is about on par with the national average. That matters in day-to-day life because adequate staffing affects how quickly call lights get answered, how attentive care is, and how much time nurses have for each person. The one area worth paying attention to is the 2-star quality measures rating, which is the weakest of the three. This score is based on 15 clinical and physical health outcomes, things like whether residents are experiencing pressure wounds, falls, pain, or declines in mobility. A below-average score here means the facility's resident outcomes, on balance, are not keeping pace with most comparable nursing homes. For families, this is often the most practical of the three ratings because it speaks to what residents are actually experiencing health-wise over time. Taken together, Golfview is a middle-of-the-road facility overall, but the quality measures score is a reason to ask specific questions during a visit about how they track and address resident health outcomes.
