Staffing Rating
Destination Health And Rehabilitation Center holds a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall rating is a composite of three separate scores, and this facility performs strongly across the board. The health inspection rating comes in at 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found very few or no serious citations during their visits. That is a strong sign that the facility is being run safely and is holding up well under outside scrutiny. The quality measures rating is 4 stars, which is above average. That score reflects how residents are actually doing physically and clinically across 15 different health outcomes, things like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and how well residents maintain their mobility. Scoring above average there suggests the care being delivered is producing good real-world results for residents. The one area worth noting is staffing, which sits at 3 stars, meaning it is right at the national average in terms of how many nursing hours residents receive relative to the number of people living there. That does not make it a red flag on its own, but it is worth asking the facility about during a visit, especially if your loved one has complex care needs that require more hands-on attention. Overall, a 5-star composite rating with strong inspection and quality scores is genuinely good news for families considering this facility.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number go up at night or on weekends? 2. How long have your charge nurses and CNAs been working here, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year? 3. If my family member had a fall or a sudden change in condition overnight, who would contact me, how quickly, and what is the process from that moment forward? 4. Can I walk through the memory care or skilled nursing wing unannounced on a future visit, and are there any areas families are not allowed to access? 5. What does a typical weekday look like for a resident who does not have many visitors, and how do you make sure they are not spending most of their time in their room alone? 6. Has this facility been cited for any deficiencies in the last two state inspections, 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.
