How to read EVERGREEN WOODS's star rating

The CMS overall star rating for EVERGREEN WOODS 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 5-star overall rating means EVERGREEN WOODS sits in the upper tier of rated providers nationally, though a strong overall score can still hide a weaker individual domain.

For EVERGREEN WOODS, CMS currently publishes 4 out of 5 for health inspections, 5 out of 5 for staffing, 4 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 Connecticut 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: the Connecticut average is 2.9. EVERGREEN WOODS rates 5 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 EVERGREEN WOODS's inspection record shows

No deficiency citations for EVERGREEN WOODS 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 EVERGREEN WOODS for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the Connecticut survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.

What ccrc costs near North Branford, Connecticut

Connecticut ccrc typically runs $3,800 to $6,000 per month, a midpoint of roughly $4,900 — about $58,800 a year. This is a state-level market estimate from published rate data for this care type, not a quote from EVERGREEN WOODS, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.

Actual pricing at EVERGREEN WOODS depends on room type, whether the community charges a flat all-inclusive rate or a base rate plus tiered care levels, and one-time community or entrance fees. Medicare does not pay for room and board in this care category. Common funding routes are private pay, long-term care insurance, a state Medicaid waiver where one exists, and VA Aid and Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses.

When you call EVERGREEN WOODS, ask for the total monthly figure at the care level being recommended — not the base rate — plus the schedule of annual increases over the last three years and what triggers a move to a higher care tier.
