Staffing Rating
The Springs of Greers Ferry holds an overall 4-star rating, which puts it above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That top-line number is a composite of three separate scores, and the strongest piece here is the Health Inspection rating, also 4 stars. That score reflects how the facility performed during state inspections, meaning inspectors found fewer or less serious problems than most facilities. For families, that's a meaningful signal about day-to-day care standards and how well the home addresses safety and compliance concerns.
The other two pieces, Staffing and Quality Measures, both come in at 3 stars, which is right at average. The staffing score tells you that the number of nursing hours residents receive relative to how many people live there is typical for the industry, not a standout but not a concern either. The Quality Measures score is based on 15 clinical indicators like rates of falls, infections, and changes in residents' physical condition over time, and landing at average means outcomes are in line with most other facilities. Together, the above-average inspection history is doing a lot of the work in pulling the overall rating up to 4 stars. It's a solid profile, but if staffing levels or clinical outcomes matter most to your family, those are good topics to dig into further when you visit or speak with the team there.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift and night shift?
2. What percentage of your nursing staff are permanent employees, and how often do you rely on agency or temporary staff to fill shifts?
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 resists care, gets confused, or becomes agitated, and what is your policy on using sedating medications to manage behavior?
5. What does a typical weekday look like for a resident who is mobile and social, and what does it look like for someone who is mostly bed-bound?
6. How do you keep families informed about changes in their loved one's condition, and who is the specific person I should call if I have a concern?

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.
