How to read FINGER LAKES CENTER FOR LIVING's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for FINGER LAKES CENTER FOR LIVING 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 1-star overall rating means FINGER LAKES CENTER FOR LIVING scores below most rated providers nationally. A low overall rating is most often driven by health inspection findings, which carry the heaviest weight in the CMS formula.
For FINGER LAKES CENTER FOR LIVING, CMS currently publishes 1 out of 5 for health inspections, 4 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 New York 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: 3 rated facilities in Auburn average 1.7 out of 5, and the New York average is 3. FINGER LAKES CENTER FOR LIVING rates 1 out of 5, below 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 FINGER LAKES CENTER FOR LIVING's inspection record shows
No deficiency citations for FINGER LAKES CENTER FOR LIVING 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 FINGER LAKES CENTER FOR LIVING for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the New York survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.
What nursing home costs near Auburn, New York
New York nursing home typically runs $5,000 to $8,200 per month, a midpoint of roughly $6,600 — about $79,200 a year. This is a state-level market estimate from published rate data for this care type, not a quote from FINGER LAKES CENTER FOR LIVING, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.
Actual pricing at FINGER LAKES CENTER FOR LIVING 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. For skilled nursing, Medicare may cover a limited post-hospital stay in full for the first 20 days and partially through day 100 when the stay qualifies; long-term custodial care is generally paid privately or through Medicaid once assets are spent down.
When you call FINGER LAKES CENTER FOR LIVING, 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.
