Staffing Rating
Southern Springs Healthcare Facility holds a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and reflects strong performance across all three areas that make up the composite rating. The health inspection score, also 5 stars, carries the most weight in the overall calculation, and here Southern Springs really stands out. This score means state inspectors found very few citations, and any issues they did find were minor. For families, that translates to a facility that consistently meets or exceeds care standards when outside regulators come in to take a close look.
The staffing and quality measures ratings both come in at 4 stars, which is above average and still very reassuring. The staffing score tells you that nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you would typically see at comparable facilities, meaning your loved one is less likely to feel overlooked or have to wait long for help. The quality measures score reflects real health outcomes for residents, things like how often people fall, develop infections, lose too much weight, or need a hospital stay. At 4 stars, Southern Springs is performing better than most facilities in these areas. Together, these ratings paint a picture of a facility that is well-run, attentive, and producing good results for the people living there.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have your charge nurses and CNAs been working here, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my family member has a fall or a medical change overnight, who contacts us, how quickly, and what is the process from that point forward?
4. Can you walk me through what a typical Tuesday looks like for a resident who doesn't have therapy scheduled that day?
5. How does the facility handle a resident who refuses a meal, resists bathing, or becomes upset during care?
6. What were the findings from your most recent state inspection, and what specific steps did the facility take in response to any deficiencies cited?

About CMS Star Ratings
CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.
A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
