What the numbers mean

STRATFORD MANOR REHABILITATION AND CARE CENTER LLC scored 76 out of 100 — 7 points above the state average of 69.

📋 Inspections: 18 citations over the last 36 months — 2 more than the state average (16). None were rated as causing actual harm to residents. 1 finding recurred across inspection cycles — indicating a problem that was not fixed.

⚠️ Staffing: Staffing levels are below average. Lower staffing is associated with longer response times, more pressure injuries, and higher hospitalization rates. Ask the facility directly about their RN-to-resident ratio and how they handle shortfalls.

⚖️ Penalties & enforcement: No significant federal fines or enforcement actions on record — a positive indicator of consistent regulatory compliance.

💬 Complaints: Low complaint activity — few formal complaints from residents or families have triggered inspections. Ask if there is a family council you can speak with.

💚 Resident quality outcomes: This facility's star-rated quality measures are in the strong range. Key indicators like fall rates, antipsychotic use, and vaccination coverage compare favorably to national benchmarks — a positive signal for day-to-day resident care.

⚖ Penalties & Enforcement

Federal civil monetary penalties (CMPs) are only issued after a facility has failed two levels of regulatory review — meaning problems were found on inspection and the facility could not rebut the findings. This is a serious escalation beyond a standard citation.

No federal penalties on record. CMS has not issued civil monetary penalties or payment denials against this facility in the current reporting period.
📋 Enforcement Context Analysis
📊
Enforcement score: 100/100 — above the state average of 73/100 — relatively better than peer facilities. This is a positive indicator — limited enforcement history compared to peer facilities.
✅ No enforcement actions on record. This facility's enforcement score of 100/100 reflects a clean enforcement history in the current CMS reporting cycle.

📅 Per-action enforcement records (date, fine amount, and penalty type for each individual action) are sourced from a separate CMS enforcement dataset and will be added in a future data update.

Resident Wellbeing — Key Indicators

These are the measures families ask about most. They come from CMS clinical assessments of every resident — not just inspection reports. Stars (★) count toward the official CMS quality star rating.

Antipsychotic medication use
0.3% lower is better
Share of long-stay residents given antipsychotic drugs. High use can signal residents being over-medicated rather than receiving attentive care.
Flu vaccination rate
4.2% higher is better
Share of long-stay residents vaccinated against the flu this season. Higher is better.
Re-hospitalized after discharge
20.1% lower is better
How often short-stay residents who went home ended up back in the hospital within 30 days. Risk-adjusted for resident health.
Hospitalization rate
2.5% lower is better
How often long-stay residents were hospitalized over the past year. Adjusted for how sick residents were.
