Staffing Rating
Van Buren Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which puts it above average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates and cares for its residents.
The health inspection rating, also 4 stars, is one of the stronger signals here. It reflects the findings from state inspections, looking at how many citations the facility received and how serious they were. A 4-star result means inspectors found fewer or less severe issues than most facilities, which is reassuring for families thinking about safety and regulatory compliance. The staffing and quality measures ratings both come in at 3 stars, which is right at the national average. Staffing looks at how many hours of nursing care residents receive each day relative to how many people live there, so a 3 means families can expect a typical level of hands-on care, though not exceptional. Quality measures cover 15 clinical indicators like how residents are managing with mobility, pain, or infections, and a 3-star score suggests outcomes that are in line with what most facilities deliver. The strong inspection score is what lifts the overall rating above average, so families should feel good about the facility's track record with regulators while also asking questions about staffing levels and care outcomes during any in-person visit.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift, and how does that number change at night and on weekends?
2. How long have most of your nursing staff been working here, and what do you do to keep them from leaving?
3. If my loved one falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night, walk me through exactly what happens from the moment someone notices a problem.
4. Can I come back for an unannounced visit at a different time of day, including evenings or weekends, and will I have the same access to common areas and staff?
5. How do you handle it when a resident or family member complains about the care or raises a concern, and can you give me an example of a change you made because of feedback like that?
6. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who has limited mobility and does not have family visiting that day?

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.
