Staffing Rating
Desoto Health And Rehab holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which puts it above average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about the facility. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems there than at most facilities - a good sign that the home is being run safely and meeting care standards. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, which tells you nurses are spending more time with residents than the average facility provides, and that generally translates to more attentive, responsive care day to day. The one area worth keeping an eye on is the quality measures rating, which sits at 3 stars, or average. This score looks at 15 clinical outcomes - things like how often residents experience falls, pressure sores, or changes in mobility - and average means the facility is performing in line with most others, but not standing out. It does not signal a red flag, but it does suggest there may be room for improvement in some health outcomes for residents. Taken together, the strong inspection and staffing scores carry the overall rating to 4 stars, so families can feel reasonably good about this facility while still asking staff specific questions about care outcomes during a visit.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and how does that change at night and on weekends? 2. How long have your director of nursing and your administrator been in their current roles here? 3. What happens, step by step, when a resident falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night? 4. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and can you walk me through any deficiencies that were cited? 5. How do you handle a resident who has dementia and becomes upset or agitated - what does your staff actually do in that moment? 6. If my family member has a complaint or feels something is wrong, who do they or I call, and how quickly can we expect a real response?

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.
