Its overall and quality measure ratings match the national 3-star average, suggesting performance in line with typical skilled nursing facilities across the country. However, the 2-star staffing rating indicates that staffing levels at this facility are below what is observed at the average nursing home nationally. Staffing ratios can influence the frequency and quality of direct patient care, and CMS uses both reported staffing hours and case-mix adjusted data to calculate this rating. The health inspection rating of 3 stars places the facility at the national midpoint for that domain. Individuals researching skilled nursing options in the Buford or greater Gwinnett County area may find this data useful when comparing facilities using the standardized CMS rating system.
