What the scorecards show

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume shows how many families have rated each community, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from many reviews counts for more than a 4.9 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently reviews are still arriving. Senior living is a decision about people, so treat the scorecard as a starting list and visit in person.
