Staffing Rating
Blountstown Health and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That top-line number is a composite that pulls together three separate ratings, and understanding each one gives you a clearer picture of what the facility actually delivers day to day.
On health inspections, the facility earned 4 out of 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious issues than most nursing homes in Florida. That is a strong result and suggests the facility generally meets regulatory standards with only minor concerns. Staffing came in at a perfect 5 stars, which is the piece many families care about most. It means residents here receive more hands-on nursing time, on average, than the vast majority of comparable facilities. More nurses per resident typically translates to faster response times, more attentive care, and less chance of things being missed. The quality measures rating sits at 3 stars, which is average. This category tracks clinical outcomes like fall rates, pressure sores, and hospital readmissions, so an average score here is not alarming, but it does suggest there may be room for improvement in some health outcome areas. The strong staffing numbers likely help push the overall rating to 5 stars even with the average quality measures score, so it is worth asking the facility directly about any specific measures that concern you.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have most of your nursing staff been working here, and what do you do when you have to bring in agency or temporary nurses to fill shifts?
3. Can you walk me through exactly what happens if a resident falls, has a medical emergency, or shows signs of a sudden decline in health?
4. How do you handle a resident who has dementia and becomes upset or agitated - what does your staff do, and do you ever use medication to calm residents down?
5. If my family member has a complaint or feels they are being ignored or mistreated, who do they talk to, and can you show me how that process has actually worked for someone in the past?
6. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who does not have many visitors - what are they doing, eating, and who are they talking to throughout the 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.
