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.

Inspection Report Summary for Savannah Heights
The most recent inspection on October 22, 2025, found the facility in substantial compliance with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident care issues such as failure to provide dignified care and timely family notifications, medication management, and supervision concerns leading to resident falls. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for a few substantiated cases involving supervision and injury reporting. Enforcement actions, fines, or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have made improvements over time, with the most recent surveys showing no deficiencies after addressing prior issues.
