Compare Providers

Two or three providers side by side, across the public record: licensing, ratings, inspections, penalties, staffing, ownership, and what care costs locally. Where no agency publishes a figure for a kind of provider, the cell says so rather than sitting empty next to a number and reading like a low score.

Brookdale Creekside vs. Altius Senior Living

Care types

What each provider is licensed or certified to deliver. Different care types answer to different regulators, which is why the rows below are not always comparable.

Brookdale Creekside

Assisted Living, Memory Care

Altius Senior Living

Assisted Living

Licensed capacity

Beds or units on the license. A capacity, not an occupancy.

Brookdale Creekside

56 beds or units

Altius Senior Living

8 beds or units

License status

The status word the state registry uses, reproduced exactly. We do not translate or grade it.

Brookdale Creekside

LICENSED

Issued by Texas · License 146711

Altius Senior Living

LICENSED

Issued by Texas · License 311811

Published rating

Whatever the publishing regulator published, on the scale the regulator used. Nothing here is rescaled to five stars.

Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no published rating for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.

Brookdale Creekside

Not established

No published quality rating for this provider yet. Not every care type or state publishes a star rating. This is not necessarily a red flag.

Altius Senior Living

Not comparable

Texas publishes no quality rating for assisted living, so no community in this state carries one. CMS star ratings cover the providers Medicare certifies, which does not include assisted living.

Inspection citations

How many citations are on record, and how recent the newest one is.

Nurse staffing hours

Payroll-based nurse hours per resident per day, against the median for the same state.

Not a like-for-like comparison. No public system publishes nurse staffing hours for either of these providers, so there is nothing to compare here for either one.

Brookdale Creekside

Not comparable

Staffing hours are published for nursing homes and for no other kind of provider. Federal law requires Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes to file payroll-based nurse hours with CMS every quarter, and no agency collects the same return from assisted living communities.

Altius Senior Living

Not comparable

Staffing hours are published for nursing homes and for no other kind of provider. Federal law requires Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes to file payroll-based nurse hours with CMS every quarter, and no agency collects the same return from assisted living communities.

Ownership and chain

Who owns the provider, and who runs it when those are different companies.

Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no ownership and chain for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.

Brookdale Creekside

Not established

Ownership information not yet on file.

Altius Senior Living

Ownership information not yet on file.

Typical local cost

The published monthly median for this care type in this provider's city. A market figure, never a price quoted by this provider.

$6,154/mo

Typical for this care type in Plano, TX, not a price from this provider

Altius Senior Living

Reading the blanks

A blank cell on this page is never just missing. It is one of three claims, and they mean very different things.

None on record.
We hold the whole published file for this measure and this provider is not in it. A real zero, and a finding in its own right.
Not comparable.
No agency publishes this measure for this kind of provider, so no provider of its kind has one. Shown hatched, because it is not a score at all.
Not established.
We cannot yet say whether the silence means a clean record or a file we have not read. We would rather tell you that than guess.
