Buffalo Crossings Healthcare & Rehabilitation Cen

Buffalo Crossings Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center earns a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall rating is a composite of three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates. On health inspections, the facility scores 4 out of 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious violations than most nursing homes. That is a strong result and suggests the facility is well-maintained and follows care protocols closely. Staffing comes in at 3 out of 5 stars, which is right around average for the industry in terms of how many nursing hours residents receive relative to the number of people living there. Families should feel comfortable asking about staffing levels directly, just to get a sense of day-to-day coverage. The standout score is Quality Measures, which hits 5 out of 5 stars. This rating tracks 15 clinical outcomes like wound care, fall rates, and how well residents maintain their physical functioning, and a top score here means residents are genuinely faring well health-wise. The way the overall rating comes together, CMS weighs these three components, with health inspections carrying the most influence. So even with an average staffing score pulling things toward the middle, the exceptional quality outcomes and strong inspection record push Buffalo Crossings to a 5-star composite. For families, that combination is meaningful. The clinical results suggest residents are receiving attentive, effective care day to day, and the inspection record shows the facility holds itself to a high standard. The staffing score is worth a conversation with the admissions team, but the overall picture here is genuinely encouraging.
