SunsetWell Score®
88th percentile in DC

Data: CMS Provider Data Catalog, refreshed June 2026
How we score →This Medicare-certified nursing home has 45 certified beds and reports 5.4 total nursing hours per resident per day, above the state median of 4.8. Nursing staff turnover of 29% per year is below the state median of 34%. CMS records show 6 health citations in the last 3 years and 2 substantiated complaints; most recent inspection August 2024. Inspections in this period included an immediate jeopardy citation, CMS's most serious level of deficiency.
Summary generated from this facility's CMS inspection, staffing, and enforcement records. Every statement is derived directly from federal data — nothing is estimated or invented.
Most families pick a facility under time pressure — research on hospital discharges finds proximity and immediate availability drive the decision far more than quality ratings do. But once someone moves in, what families say matters most changes: national ombudsman complaint data puts slow responses to requests for help among the top concerns, and satisfaction studies consistently point to staff attitude and communication, food, activities, and residents' autonomy as what separates a good experience from a bad one.
You can't tour those things in an afternoon, but this page holds useful proxies for them:
Based on federal long-term-care ombudsman complaint categories and peer-reviewed family-satisfaction research. How we measure quality
From Medicare claims — hospital admissions, emergency visits, readmissions, discharge back to the community, and infections requiring hospitalization. Facilities cannot self-report these.
Source: CMS claims-based quality measures, refreshed 2026-07-05. Small facilities have fewer residents, so we adjust for sample size to reduce the effect of a few unusual months.
Staffing levels are one of the strongest predictors of nursing home quality. These figures are reported by the facility to CMS through payroll records, as hours of care available per resident per day.
Weekend nursing coverage drops about 18% versus a typical weekday at this facility.
Average staffing reliability (40/100)
CMS Payroll-Based Journal, CY2025 Q4
Being made to leave — an involuntary discharge or eviction — is the single most common complaint families bring to long-term-care ombudsmen nationwide.
No citations under federal transfer and discharge requirements were found in the last 3 years of inspection data. That's a good sign, though not a guarantee — facilities inspected less often have had fewer chances to be cited. It's still worth asking on a tour how the facility handles payment transitions (for example, when private funds run out and a resident moves to Medicaid).
