In Fairhaven
How to read this table: "Overall" is the CMS star rating, which combines inspections, staffing, and quality measures from resident assessments and claims; "Inspection" is the on-site health inspection rating — the most independent signal, and the one CMS grades on a curve against other facilities in the same state. Flags are federal abuse citations and Special Focus status.

What to check in Fairhaven
These figures cover the 3 facilities in this city, excluding nearby alternatives. They describe published records, not current vacancies or a recommendation.
All bars start at zero. Exact values and supporting details remain below.
Both averages use the same 2 facilities, with equal weight per facility. 1 facility is excluded because one or both values are unavailable. These are CMS case-mix-adjusted measures, not the hours any individual resident is guaranteed to receive.
Weekend staffing is lower than the all-week figure at 2 of these 2. Ask how weekend coverage and response times are maintained. This difference alone does not establish unsafe care.
- How recent is the inspection evidence? CMS marks 0 facilities here as having a most recent health inspection more than two years ago in this release. Ask for the latest inspection report and what has changed since it.
- Can the facility accept your payment arrangement? 3 of 3 facilities here are listed with Medicaid certification. Certification does not establish an available bed, your eligibility or the amount you will owe. Confirm directly and request an itemized written quote.
