CMS Star Ratings

Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.

Brookridge Retirement Community holds a 5-star overall rating, in the top tier CMS assigns. Its health-inspection rating is lower than its overall rating — the overall score is being lifted by staffing or quality-measure ratings, which draw partly on facility-reported data. 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.
