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.

27 deficiencies
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Inspection Report Summary for Golden Age Care Center
The most recent inspection on December 29, 2025, included a Plan of Correction acknowledging prior deficiencies and outlining corrective actions, with certification of compliance effective December 17, 2025. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to medication management, resident care including wound treatment and restorative activities, and failure to notify physicians or representatives of changes in condition. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, particularly involving medication storage issues, wound care, and resident dignity, while others were found to be unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to be addressing prior deficiencies through plans of correction, indicating some improvement over time.
