How to read ENCORE AT WEST MEADOW's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for ENCORE AT WEST MEADOW 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 ENCORE AT WEST MEADOW sits in the upper tier of rated providers nationally, though a strong overall score can still hide a weaker individual domain.
For ENCORE AT WEST MEADOW, CMS currently publishes 2 out of 5 for health inspections, 5 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 Delaware 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: 5 rated facilities in Newark average 3.8 out of 5, and the Delaware average is 3.3. ENCORE AT WEST MEADOW 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 ENCORE AT WEST MEADOW's inspection record shows
No deficiency citations for ENCORE AT WEST MEADOW 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 ENCORE AT WEST MEADOW for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the Delaware survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.
What ccrc costs near Newark, Delaware
Delaware 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 ENCORE AT WEST MEADOW, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.
Actual pricing at ENCORE AT WEST MEADOW 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.
