Staffing Rating
East Bay Rehabilitation 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, meaning the facility falls in the average range when it comes to citations found during state inspections. This isn't a red flag, but it does suggest families may want to ask the facility directly about any past citations and what steps were taken to address them. The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, which is a good sign. It means nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you'd typically see at comparable facilities, and more staff time generally translates to more attentive, responsive care day to day. The standout number here is the 5-star quality measures rating, which is the highest possible score. This rating is based on 15 clinical indicators, things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents pressure sores, or supports residents' ability to stay mobile. A top score here tells you that residents at East Bay are experiencing strong health outcomes in practice, not just on paper. So while the health inspection score is middle-of-the-road, the facility's actual care results are exceptional, and the staffing to support that care is above average. Taken together, the 4-star overall rating reflects a facility that is performing well in the areas that tend to matter most to families.

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 the same aide for several weeks and that person leaves or calls out, who fills in and how quickly does that happen? 3. Can you walk me through exactly what happened the last time a resident had a fall, from the moment it occurred to when the family was notified? 4. How does staff communicate with a resident who has trouble speaking up for themselves, and who is specifically responsible for making sure that person's needs are met each day? 5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who does not want to join group activities? 6. When was the last time this facility was cited by state inspectors, what was it for, and what did you change as a result?

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.
