BROOKSIDE MULTICARE NURSING CENTER

Brookside Multicare Nursing Center holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which puts it above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall rating is a composite built from three separate scores, and in this case, all three areas line up consistently, which is a good sign that the facility is performing well across the board rather than excelling in one area while struggling in another. Each piece of the rating tells you something different. The 4-star health inspection score means that when state surveyors visited and reviewed the facility, they found fewer or less serious problems than most nursing homes, so families can feel reasonably confident about safety and compliance. The 4-star staffing score reflects that nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than the average facility, which tends to translate into better day-to-day care and faster response to resident needs. And the 4-star quality measures score looks at 15 clinical outcomes, things like how residents are managing pain, whether they are developing pressure sores, or how mobility is holding up over time. Scoring above average here suggests residents at Brookside are generally experiencing better health outcomes than at most comparable facilities.
