Staffing Rating
Fountain Hills Post Acute holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which puts it above average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates and cares for residents. On health inspections, the facility again earns 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems than most facilities when they walked through the doors. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, which tells you nurses are spending more time with residents than the average facility at this size, and that generally translates to quicker responses and more attentive day-to-day care. Finally, the quality measures rating comes in at 4 stars as well, reflecting above-average outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure wounds, and how well residents maintain their ability to move around. Seeing all three components aligned at the same level is a good sign - it suggests the facility is performing consistently rather than having one strong area covering up weaknesses in another.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number go up at night or on weekends? 2. How often do residents see the same nurses and aides, and what is your average staff turnover rate over the past year? 3. Can you walk me through exactly what happens if a resident falls or has a medical emergency at 2 in the morning? 4. What did your most recent state inspection find, and what specific steps did you take to fix any problems that were cited? 5. How does a resident's typical weekday look from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed, and who decides that schedule? 6. If my family member has a concern or complaint, who do they talk to, and can you give me an example of a complaint that was raised and how it was resolved?

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.
