Whitney Center is a Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility in Hamden, CT (CCN 075290) operating under non profit - corporation ownership, with 59 certified beds and an average daily census of about 29 residents. CMS assigned it a 4-star Overall rating on the Five-Star Quality Rating System (above average), built from a 3/5 Health Inspection component, a 5/5 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 10 total deficiencies on the most recent survey cycle (2 complaint-based) - the national average is 9.5 deficiencies per facility, so Whitney Center currently sits above that baseline. RN staffing is 1.34 hours per resident per day, which is 98% 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.
