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.

13 deficiencies
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Inspection Report Summary for Clarence Nursing Home
The most recent inspection on November 12, 2025, was a complaint investigation that found the facility in substantial compliance with no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident assessments, infection prevention and control, and care plan updates. Prior reports also noted issues with medication administration, reporting and investigating injuries, and environmental safety concerning resident elopement, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, except for one substantiated case involving failure to prevent resident elopement through an unsecured window. The facility’s recent clean complaint investigation suggests some improvement following earlier citations.
