In terms of CMS data comparisons, Aperion Care Summerfield performs above the national average on its overall rating and on both the health inspection and quality measure components. The staffing rating of 2 stars falls below the national norm, which is a dimension that reflects reported nurse staffing hours per resident per day, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants.
