The facility's individual domain ratings vary across the three measured categories.

When compared to national benchmarks, Elmhaven East presents a mixed profile across its CMS-rated domains. Its overall 3-star rating matches the national average, suggesting a facility that meets general performance expectations in the aggregate. The 5-star staffing rating is a notable distinction, as this category reflects nurse staffing hours per resident per day and is among the more operationally significant metrics tracked by CMS. The 4-star quality measure rating further indicates above-average performance on clinical outcomes. However, the 2-star health inspection rating represents an area where the facility falls below national norms, as this rating is determined by the frequency, scope, and severity of deficiencies cited during inspections. Taken together, these ratings provide a composite picture of facility performance across distinct and independently weighted dimensions of care delivery.
