Westminster Oaks

Westminster Oaks earned a perfect 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is about as good as it gets. That top-level score is a composite of three separate ratings, and Westminster Oaks maxed out on all three. The health inspection rating reflects how the facility performed during state inspections, looking at how many citations they received and how serious those issues were. Five stars here means inspectors found very few, if any, problems. The staffing rating tells you how many hours of nursing care residents actually receive relative to the number of people living there. A 5-star score means residents get more hands-on attention from nurses than you'd find at most facilities. The quality measures rating is based on 15 clinical indicators, things like whether residents are experiencing falls, pressure wounds, or declines in mobility. Five stars there means residents are doing well on those health outcomes compared to other nursing homes across the country. Practically speaking, when a facility scores this well across all three areas at once, it's a strong sign that the quality you see on paper tends to match the day-to-day experience for residents. No single rating tells the whole story, but when health inspections, staffing levels, and resident health outcomes all point in the same direction, families can feel more confident they're looking at a facility that consistently performs at a high level.
