Staffing Rating
The Springs of Chenal holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That composite rating is built from three separate pieces: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. When two of those three areas come in at the top of the scale, it can carry the overall rating to 5 stars even if one piece is closer to the middle, which is exactly what you see here.
Looking at the individual pieces, the 5-star health inspection rating means state inspectors found very few problems during their visits, and any issues they did find were minor in severity. That is a strong sign that the facility is well-managed day to day. The quality measures rating is also 5 stars, meaning residents at this facility tend to fare very well across 15 clinical indicators like pain management, fall rates, and pressure wounds. That speaks directly to the care people are actually receiving. The staffing rating lands at 3 stars, which is average, so the facility is meeting baseline expectations for nurse hours per resident but is not standing out in that area. For families, that is worth keeping in mind, since staffing levels can affect how quickly staff respond to residents and how much individual attention your loved one receives. Overall, though, The Springs of Chenal has a genuinely strong record, and the 5-star overall rating reflects real strengths in safety and resident health outcomes.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during the day shift, and how does that number change at night and on weekends?
2. How long have your current CNAs and charge nurses been working here, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one has a fall, a medication error, or a sudden change in condition, how will I be notified, and how quickly does that typically happen?
4. Can I visit at any time without scheduling in advance, including evenings and weekends?
5. What does a typical day look like for a resident who is not participating in scheduled therapy - how do they spend their morning and afternoon hours?
6. Has this facility received any state or federal citations in the past two years, and if so, what specific steps were taken to fix the problems?

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.
