BERKSHIRE NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER

Berkshire Nursing & Rehabilitation Center holds a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall rating is a composite of three separate scores, so it helps to look at each one individually to get the full picture. On health inspections, Berkshire earns 4 out of 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems than most facilities. That's a good sign that the facility is being run safely and that care standards are being met. On quality measures, Berkshire scores a perfect 5 out of 5 stars, which reflects strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like infection rates, falls, pressure ulcers, and how well residents maintain their physical function. That's the piece of the rating that most directly tells you how residents are actually doing day to day. The one area worth paying attention to is staffing, which comes in at 2 out of 5 stars, meaning nurse hours per resident are below average compared to other nursing homes. For families, that can translate to longer wait times for assistance or less one-on-one attention for residents with more complex needs. It doesn't cancel out the strong quality and inspection scores, and the overall 5-star rating reflects that the facility performs well in important areas. But if your loved one needs a higher level of hands-on care, it's a good question to ask Berkshire directly when you visit.
