Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing

- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Newton, 1 facility scores a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.

Newton facilities average 0.62 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Newton resident receives approximately 37 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
