Staffing Rating
Cordova Community Med LTC earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it well above most facilities nationwide. That overall rating is built from three separate pieces, and it's worth knowing what each one actually tells you. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the facility lands right around average when it comes to the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections. That's not a red flag, but it does mean inspectors found some issues worth noting, so it's a good idea to ask the facility directly about any recent findings. Where Cordova really stands out is in staffing and quality measures, both of which earned 5 stars. The staffing score means residents here receive significantly more nurse time per day compared to most other facilities, which in practical terms often translates to faster responses, more attentive care, and less chance of things being missed. The quality measures score reflects how residents are actually doing physically and clinically across 15 different health indicators, things like whether residents are experiencing falls, pressure sores, or declines in mobility. Scoring at the top there is a strong sign that the care being delivered is genuinely making a difference in residents' day-to-day health.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during a 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 loved one had a fall or a medical change overnight, what is your process for notifying family, and how quickly does that call happen?
4. Can you walk me through what a typical Tuesday looks like for a resident who doesn't have many scheduled therapies or appointments?
5. How do you handle a resident who is repeatedly requesting pain relief or pressing the call button frequently - what does your response process look like?
6. Has this facility received any state or federal citations in the past two years, and can you show me the most recent inspection report?

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.
