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 Scenic Manor
The most recent inspection on May 1, 2025 found the facility in compliance with all applicable long-term care requirements and no deficiencies were noted. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with some deficiencies related to medication management, infection control, and physician order monitoring, including a substantiated complaint in October 2024 involving delayed INR testing for a resident on anticoagulant therapy. Prior reports also cited issues with medication administration practices, notification of resident condition changes, and securing medication carts, as well as a substantiated complaint in April 2024 for failure to ensure prescription medication availability after discharge. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the noted cases involving medication monitoring and discharge medication availability. The trend suggests improvement over time, with the most recent inspection showing no deficiencies following previous corrective actions.
