The 5-star health inspection score and 4-star quality measure score both exceed the national average of 3.0 stars, suggesting above-average performance in regulatory compliance and clinical quality indicators.

The combination of these ratings results in an overall score of 4 stars, placing the facility above the national average on the composite measure. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to weigh each component rating individually when making care decisions, and to consult additional resources such as the CMS Care Compare tool for the most current inspection reports and staffing data.
