Its overall 4-star rating exceeds the national average of 3.0 stars, driven notably by its 5-star quality measure rating, which represents the top tier of CMS quality indicator performance. The health inspection and staffing ratings, each at 3 stars, are consistent with average national performance and do not indicate notable deficiencies or strengths relative to peers. Nassau County, where the facility is situated, is one of the more densely populated suburban counties in New York State, and the region contains a range of skilled nursing options.
