Staffing Rating
Park Avenue Health and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating, which means it performs above average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, each measuring something different, and they don't all tell the same story here.
The Health Inspection rating lands at 3 stars, meaning the facility is about average when it comes to the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections. It's not a red flag, but it's worth asking the facility directly about any recent citations and what steps were taken to address them. The Staffing rating is 2 stars, which is the area that stands out most. This reflects that nurses and aides are spending fewer hours with residents compared to most other facilities, and for families, that can translate to longer wait times for assistance and less one-on-one attention. It's a meaningful concern and something to ask about when you visit. On the bright side, the Quality Measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, meaning the facility scores much better than average across 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure wounds, and other health outcomes for residents. Strong outcomes despite lower staffing numbers is encouraging, but families should still probe the staffing situation carefully to understand how care is being delivered day to day.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during a 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 on average, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. Can you walk me through exactly what happens if a resident falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night?
4. How do you handle a resident who refuses a meal, misses medications, or shows signs that something feels "off" to the staff?
5. What does a typical weekday look like for a resident who does not have many visitors or family members nearby?
6. If I have a concern about my loved one's care, who do I talk to, how quickly will someone get back to me, and what happens if I feel the issue is not being 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.
