Staffing Rating
Estrella Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and reflects a facility that is performing much better than average across the board. That overall score is built from three separate ratings that each look at something different. The health inspection rating comes in at 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found very few, if any, significant problems during their visits - that is a strong signal that the facility is being run safely and is holding itself to a high standard day to day. The quality measures rating is also 5 stars, which covers 15 clinical indicators like how well the facility manages residents' pain, prevents pressure sores, and maintains mobility. Scoring at the top here means residents are genuinely experiencing better health outcomes than most facilities can show. The one area worth noting is the staffing rating, which sits at 3 stars, meaning the number of nursing hours per resident is around average rather than exceptional. For families, the staffing number is worth a conversation with the facility directly. Average staffing does not mean poor care, especially when the quality outcomes are this strong, but it is reasonable to ask how they are scheduling nurses and aides and how they handle busier periods. The overall picture here is genuinely reassuring - top marks for inspections and resident health outcomes are the two areas that most directly reflect what life looks like for someone living there, and Estrella scores as well as a facility can on both.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and how does that number change at night and 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 falls or has a medical emergency, what exactly happens in the first 30 minutes, and how and when would you contact me? 4. Can you walk me through what a typical Tuesday looks like for a resident, from the time they wake up to when they go to bed? 5. What does your most recent state inspection report show, and where can I read the full results right now? 6. If my family member has a complaint or feels unsafe, who do they talk to, and how do you make sure there are no consequences for speaking up?

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.
