When compared against national benchmarks, Memorial Manor Nursing Home presents a mixed profile. Its health inspection rating of 3 stars is consistent with the national average, suggesting inspection outcomes that are within a typical range. However, its overall rating of 2 stars, staffing rating of 1 star, and quality measure rating of 2 stars each fall below the national average of 3.0 stars. Staffing levels, in particular, are a significant factor in CMS evaluations, as they relate to the availability of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants relative to resident population. The 1-star staffing rating indicates that reported staffing hours are among the lowest when measured against similar facilities nationally. Families and case managers reviewing this facility as a care option should consider requesting detailed staffing reports and reviewing the most recent CMS inspection findings, which are publicly available through the CMS Care Compare tool.
