Staffing Rating
Blue Palms Health And Rehabilitation Center Of Del earns an impressive 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is built from three separate scores that each look at a different piece of how a facility operates. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer and less serious problems here than at most facilities - a good sign that the home is being run safely and responsibly. Staffing sits at 3 stars, which is average, meaning the ratio of nursing hours to residents is in line with what you'd typically see across the industry, though families who want a higher level of hands-on daily attention may want to ask about staffing levels during their visit. The standout score is quality measures, a perfect 5 stars, which reflects how residents are actually doing physically and clinically - things like wound care, fall rates, pain management, and mobility. That top score tells you residents here tend to have genuinely good health outcomes.
The overall 5-star rating is a composite that weighs all three areas together, and in this case the exceptional quality measures score plays a big role in pulling the total up. Practically speaking, this is a facility where the clinical care results speak for themselves, inspections have gone well, and staffing is holding steady at a typical level. For most families, that combination - especially the near-perfect health outcomes - offers a meaningful layer of reassurance.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during a day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have most of your CNAs and nurses been working at this specific facility, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one had a fall or a medical change in the middle of the night, walk me through exactly what would happen from the moment staff noticed something was wrong.
4. Can I come back for an unannounced visit at a different time of day, and are family members welcome to drop in without scheduling ahead?
5. How do you handle a resident who consistently refuses a meal, a bath, or their medication, and who would contact us and how quickly?
6. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident here, from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed, including what activities and social time are available?

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.
