How to read THE TERRACES AT LOS ALTOS HEALTH FACILITY's star rating

The CMS overall star rating for THE TERRACES AT LOS ALTOS HEALTH FACILITY is a composite of three separately measured domains: health inspection results from state survey teams, staffing levels reported through payroll-based journal data, and clinical quality measures drawn from resident assessments and Medicare claims. A 4-star overall rating means THE TERRACES AT LOS ALTOS HEALTH FACILITY sits in the upper tier of rated providers nationally, though a strong overall score can still hide a weaker individual domain.

For THE TERRACES AT LOS ALTOS HEALTH FACILITY, CMS currently publishes 3 out of 5 for health inspections, 4 out of 5 for staffing, 5 out of 5 for quality measures. Health inspection scores are graded on a curve within each state, so this facility's inspection score is a ranking against other California providers rather than an absolute measure. Staffing scores reflect reported nurse hours per resident day, and quality-measure scores reflect resident outcomes such as falls, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.

In local context: 2 rated facilities in Los Altos average 4 out of 5, and the California average is 3.1. THE TERRACES AT LOS ALTOS HEALTH FACILITY rates 4 out of 5, in line with that benchmark. Comparing a facility against its own local market matters because inspection severity, Medicaid reimbursement rates and staffing supply all vary sharply by state.

What THE TERRACES AT LOS ALTOS HEALTH FACILITY's inspection record shows

No deficiency citations for THE TERRACES AT LOS ALTOS HEALTH FACILITY appear in the CMS extract this page is built from. That reflects the records CMS has published for this provider, not an inspection performed by Clear Care Connect, and the federal extract can lag a state survey by several months.

Before you rely on a clean record, ask THE TERRACES AT LOS ALTOS HEALTH FACILITY for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the California survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.
