Staffing Rating
Cypress Cove Care Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which puts it in the top tier of nursing facilities nationwide. That overall score is a composite built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer and less serious problems here than at most facilities. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, reflecting that nurses are spending more time with residents than the average facility provides. The quality measures rating is a full 5 stars, the highest possible, based on 15 clinical indicators tracking things like how residents are managing pain, avoiding infections, and maintaining their physical abilities.
In practical terms, this is a facility that performs well across the board. The 5-star overall rating reflects a strong combination of clean inspection history, solid nurse-to-resident time, and excellent health outcomes for residents. The quality measures score is especially meaningful for families, because it reflects what is actually happening to residents over time, not just what was observed on an inspection day. Taken together, these ratings suggest Cypress Cove is delivering care that is well above average, and families can feel confident using these scores as a strong signal when comparing options.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that ratio change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have most of your direct care staff been working here, and what is your turnover rate over the past year?
3. If my family member has a fall or a health change overnight, what is the exact process for notifying me, and who makes that call?
4. Can I come back tomorrow at a different time of day, unannounced, and walk through the common areas and dining room?
5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who does not have many scheduled therapies, and how do staff make sure that person stays engaged and comfortable?
6. In the past six months, has this facility been cited for any deficiencies by state inspectors, and can you show me the most recent survey report?

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.
