What Verdica's 850 score means for BROWNFIELD REHABILITATION AND CARE CENTER
BROWNFIELD REHABILITATION AND CARE CENTER has earned an 850 out of 850 composite score, placing it in Verdica's excellent band (800–850). This means the facility has demonstrated top-tier performance across all tracked compliance and quality dimensions used by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
A score at this level reflects consistent regulatory adherence and measurable quality outcomes. For a long-term care or rehabilitation provider, an 850 score signals that inspectors have found minimal or no deficiencies, that the facility meets or exceeds national quality benchmarks, and that enforcement actions—if any exist—are absent or historical.
Readers should interpret this score as a strong indicator of regulatory standing. It does not mean the facility is perfect or risk-free; no healthcare operation scores higher than the data allows. Rather, it reflects that BROWNFIELD REHABILITATION AND CARE CENTER is performing at or near the highest measurable standard within CMS's oversight framework. This score is relevant for prospective patients, families, referral partners, and payers evaluating the provider's compliance track record.
How the sub-scores break down
Inspection & Deficiencies (850): This sub-score evaluates findings from state and federal surveys of the facility. Inspectors look for violations of participation requirements—areas such as resident safety, infection control, medication management, staffing adequacy, and environment quality. A perfect or near-perfect score in this dimension indicates that recent inspections have documented no substantive violations or only minor, immediately corrected issues. Long-term care facilities are surveyed roughly every three years; this score reflects the most recent available inspection data.
Quality Measures (850): This component tracks clinical outcomes and process metrics reported directly by the facility to CMS, such as rates of hospital readmission, catheter-associated infections, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic medication use in dementia patients, and staff turnover. Quality measure scores are benchmarked against state and national averages. A score of 850 indicates that BROWNFIELD REHABILITATION AND CARE CENTER's reported outcomes are performing at or above expected standards, suggesting effective clinical processes and care delivery.
Enforcement History (850): This dimension captures any formal regulatory actions—civil monetary penalties, directed plans of correction, or loss of provider agreements—taken against the facility by CMS or state licensing bodies. A perfect score in this sub-score means no active enforcement or a clear enforcement record. Absence of penalties does not prove the facility has never had a citation; rather, it reflects that any historical violations were resolved and no ongoing sanctions are in place.
What regulators in TX track for healthcare providers
CMS and the Texas Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) enforce a detailed set of participation standards for long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and other Medicare/Medicaid providers. Key inspection areas include resident rights and grievance procedures, infection prevention, medication administration, physician oversight, staff training and licensing, environmental safety, and quality improvement programs.
Quality measures are standardized national indicators reported through the Nursing Home Compare database and integrated into Verdica's model. These include readmission rates, hospital transfers, emergency department use, incidence of new pressure injuries, and staff hours per resident.
Enforcement tools range from immediate jeopardy findings (which can lead to emergency termination) to standard-level deficiencies (corrected within a timeframe), civil monetary penalties, and mandatory corrective action plans. Facilities are also tracked for complaint investigation outcomes, infection outbreak responses, and financial and ownership changes.
A facility's score moves up with clean surveys and strong outcome metrics; it moves down with cited deficiencies, enforcement actions, or outcome measures below benchmarks.
Bottom line
BROWNFIELD REHABILITATION AND CARE CENTER's 850 score places it in the excellent performance band across inspection, quality, and enforcement data. For prospective residents, families, or referral partners, this score suggests regulatory compliance and measured quality outcomes are not areas of concern. Anyone considering engagement should still verify current staffing levels, specific service offerings, and payer agreements independently, as a compliance score does not assess cost, capacity, or service match.
