Staffing Rating
The Springs of El Dorado holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each looking at a different piece of how the facility operates, and in this case all three land in the same solid place.
The health inspection rating of 4 stars tells you that state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most facilities. The staffing rating of 4 stars means nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than the national average calls for, which in practical terms means your loved one is less likely to wait long for help or attention. The quality measures rating of 4 stars reflects how residents are actually doing physically and clinically, things like rates of falls, pressure sores, and hospital readmissions. Scoring above average here suggests the care being delivered is producing good real-world outcomes for residents. Taken together, these ratings paint a consistent picture of a facility that is performing well across the board, which gives families a reasonable level of confidence going in.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift, and does that ratio change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have your charge nurses and CNAs been working at this facility, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one has a concern or feels unsafe, what is the process for reporting it, and who follows up to make sure it was addressed?
4. Can you walk me through what a typical weekday looks like for a resident, from morning through evening, including meals, activities, and free time?
5. How does your facility handle pressure sores and fall prevention, and can you share your current rates for both?
6. If my loved one's condition changes or they have a medical emergency, how quickly does a nurse respond, and how will you communicate with our family?

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.
