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.

Connecticut average: 13 visits/inspections
The most recent inspection on November 10, 2025, identified deficiencies and resulted in a citation related to a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with some renewal inspections finding no violations, such as the one on March 21, 2025, while others, including the December 20, 2024 renewal, noted violations. The main themes of deficiencies involved regulatory compliance issues linked to complaint investigations, though follow-up audits in mid-2024 confirmed correction of prior cited deficiencies. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the recent case leading to the citation. The inspection history suggests some recurring compliance challenges, but also shows efforts to address and correct identified issues over time.
