AVIATA AT OAKFIELD

Aviata At Oakfield earned an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and the pieces here tell a pretty uneven story. The Health Inspection rating is 1 star, the lowest possible, meaning state inspectors found a higher number of citations, more serious ones, or both, compared to most facilities. That's the piece families tend to weigh most heavily, since it reflects what surveyors actually observed on-site. The Staffing rating comes in at 2 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending fewer hours with each resident than you'd typically see elsewhere. In practical terms, that can affect how quickly call lights get answered, how much individualized attention residents receive, and how smoothly day-to-day care is delivered. The one bright spot is the Quality Measures rating, which is a remarkable 5 stars. This score is built from 15 clinical indicators tracking things like whether residents are developing pressure wounds, experiencing falls, losing mobility, or needing hospital visits. Scoring at the top here suggests that despite the staffing and inspection concerns, the actual health outcomes for residents have been strong. It's an encouraging sign, but families should still ask pointed questions about the inspection findings and staffing levels during a tour, since those issues carry real day-to-day implications for care.
