Staffing Rating
Ash Flat Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and reflects a facility performing well above average across the board. That top-line number is built from three separate ratings, each looking at something different. The Health Inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer and less serious issues than most facilities. The Staffing rating is also 4 stars, which tells you nurses are spending more time with residents than average - a good sign that your loved one is less likely to get lost in the shuffle. The Quality Measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, the strongest of the three, and this one looks at actual health outcomes for residents across 15 clinical areas like fall rates, infections, and how well residents maintain their physical abilities.
The overall 5-star rating is a composite of all three pieces, so it reflects the full picture rather than any single factor. In practical terms, this combination means Ash Flat is passing inspections cleanly, keeping enough staff on hand, and seeing strong real-world health outcomes for the people living there. Families looking for a skilled nursing or rehab placement can feel confident this facility is genuinely outperforming most of its peers, not just on paper, but in the day-to-day care residents actually receive.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have your nursing staff been working here, and what do you do to keep turnover low?
3. What happens if my loved one falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night, and who specifically would call me?
4. Can you walk me through what a typical Tuesday looks like for a resident who doesn't have any scheduled therapy that day?
5. How do you handle a resident who refuses a meal, a bath, or their medication, and who decides what comes next?
6. When did you last receive a state inspection, and can I see the most recent survey report before I leave today?

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.
