Overview of Mercy Circle Senior Living
Mercy Circle is an independent living, assisted living, and memory care facility that promotes independence regardless of living options. Mercy Circle emphasizes the importance of each individual; that is why they want to ensure that residents are able to grow in a community that gives them exceptional care while being able to do what they want freely. From watching a movie at their very own movie room to relaxing at their beautiful courtyard, Mercy Circle has ensured that their community will be built with the idea that every detail in the facility is able to provide each residence with comfort and care.
Mercy Circle prides itself on being a community that is an ideal place for residents to find feasibility– residents are available to do things whenever and wherever they need.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
