Score Breakdown
What the numbers mean
THE GARDENS AT WAYNE POST ACUTE AND NURSING CENTER LLC scored 60 out of 100 — 9 points below the state average of 69.
📋 Inspections: 9 citations over the last 36 months — 7 fewer than the state average (16). 1 was rated serious (G+) — an inspector determined it caused or risked harm to a resident. 1 finding recurred across inspection cycles — indicating a problem that was not fixed.
🚨 Staffing: Staffing levels are well below average — this is a serious concern. Understaffing leads to worse resident outcomes. We strongly recommend asking for staffing schedules and speaking with current residents or family members before making any decision.
⚖️ 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: Quality outcome measures are in an acceptable range. Some measures are at or near national benchmarks. Review the quality section in the full report for specifics.

Top concern areas
⚖ 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.
📅 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.
