Summer Commons is a Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility in Sanford, ME (CCN 205012) operating under for profit - limited liability company ownership, with 64 certified beds and an average daily census of about 60 residents. CMS assigned it a 4-star Overall rating on the Five-Star Quality Rating System (above average), built from a 4/5 Health Inspection component, a 4/5 Staffing component, and a 4/5 Quality Measures component. According to CMS Nursing Home Care Compare and the National Provider Identifier Registry, covering more than 14,000 Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes with over 1 million certified beds and Five-Star Quality Ratings issued since December 2008 you can search and compare here, every figure traces to its source in our methodology.

On compliance, CMS records show 6 total deficiencies on the most recent survey cycle (1 complaint-based) - the national average is 9.5 deficiencies per facility, so Summer Commons currently sits at or below that baseline. RN staffing is 0.87 hours per resident per day, which is 28% above the national average of 0.68 hours, a CMS-reported figure derived from payroll-based journal (PBJ) submissions.

Use the rating breakdown and inspection cycles above to look past the single headline star, the Overall rating is a weighted composite, and facilities with identical headline stars can have very different underlying Health Inspection or Quality Measures profiles. Important: PlainDoctor presents CMS Five-Star Quality Rating data exactly as published at data.cms.gov (February 2026 release) and does not calculate custom scores or rankings. This page is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a placement recommendation, or a substitute for visiting the facility in person. Before selecting a nursing home for yourself or a family member, read the full CMS survey reports, tour the property, interview staff, and consult licensed clinicians and elder-care advisors about medical and financial implications.
