CMS Star Ratings

Overall rating
★☆☆☆☆
CMS’s composite of the three ratings below. Massachusetts average: 3.0 stars.
Health inspection
★☆☆☆☆
Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.
Staffing

Nurse and aide hours per resident per day, adjusted for how much care residents need, plus staff turnover.
Quality measures
★★☆☆☆
Clinical outcomes CMS tracks, such as falls with injury, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
Fairview Commons Nursing & Rehabilitation Center holds a 1-star overall rating, in the bottom two tiers CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 56% is well above the Massachusetts average of 38%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $74,354 in the last three years. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
Rating trajectory: overall rating declined from 2 stars (July 2026) to 1 stars (August 2026) across 2 monthly CMS releases tracked by ClearPath.
