Staffing Rating
Valley Springs Rehabilitation and Health Center holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, each measuring something different about the facility. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, which is average. This reflects the number and seriousness of citations state inspectors found during their visits, so it's worth asking the facility directly about any recent findings and how they were addressed. Staffing comes in at 4 stars, meaning nurses are spending more time with residents than most facilities at this level, which can make a real difference in day-to-day care and responsiveness. The standout here is the 5-star quality measures rating, the highest possible score. This is based on 15 clinical indicators, things like how well the facility manages residents' pain, prevents pressure wounds, or maintains mobility, and a top score suggests residents are experiencing strong health outcomes overall. Together, the solid staffing and excellent clinical outcomes carry the overall rating above average, even with a middle-of-the-road inspection score.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift and a typical night shift? 2. If my loved one has a concern or feels unsafe, who specifically do they report it to, and what happens next? 3. How often do residents see the same caregivers from week to week, and what is your current staff turnover rate? 4. What does a typical day look like for a resident who does not have many scheduled therapies or activities? 5. Has this facility been cited for any deficiencies in the past two years, and how were those issues corrected? 6. If my loved one's condition changes or declines, how will you communicate that to our family and how quickly?

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.
