The Kilmer Health Care Center opened four years ago with 48 private rooms Thirty-six of the rooms are for assisted living, and twelve are for constant care The Kilmer Health Care Center offers residents an array of services from housekeeping and meal delivery, to transportation and medical services

Consumer Quarterly looked at three main factors to come up with the nursing home rankings The first was how the facility ranked in their state inspections The second was the ratio of the number of care givers, (including nurses and nurse's aides), to the number of residents Finally, they looked at the services the facility offers and compared those to the current and future needs of the residents who live there

Consumer Quarterly hopes the report encourages those facilities ranked in the lower 10% to review and improve their operations

Center are intended for assisted living?

(a) It is near a hospital

(b) It opened four years ago

(c) It is run with state funds

(d) It has a highly-trained staff
