GOLD CREST CARE CENTER

Gold Crest Care Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts this facility well above average nationally. That top-line number is a composite built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates and cares for its residents. Looking at the pieces individually, the 4-star health inspection rating means state inspectors found fewer or less serious issues here than at most nursing homes, which is a good sign that the facility is being run safely and responsibly. The 3-star staffing rating lands right at average, meaning residents receive a fairly typical amount of nurse time per day compared to other facilities, so families should feel comfortable asking about staffing levels during a tour. The standout score here is the 5-star quality measures rating, which reflects how residents are actually doing physically and clinically across 15 different health outcomes, things like wound care, mobility, and medication management. That near-perfect score suggests staff are doing an excellent job keeping residents healthy and comfortable day to day, and it is a big reason the overall rating climbs to 5 stars even with an average staffing score pulling on the composite.
