How to read VILLAGE AT PENN STATE, THE's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for VILLAGE AT PENN STATE, THE 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 VILLAGE AT PENN STATE, THE sits in the upper tier of rated providers nationally, though a strong overall score can still hide a weaker individual domain.
For VILLAGE AT PENN STATE, THE, 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 Pennsylvania 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: 4 rated facilities in State College average 3.5 out of 5, and the Pennsylvania average is 3. VILLAGE AT PENN STATE, THE rates 5 out of 5, above 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 VILLAGE AT PENN STATE, THE's inspection record shows
No deficiency citations for VILLAGE AT PENN STATE, THE 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 VILLAGE AT PENN STATE, THE for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the Pennsylvania survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.
