Staffing Rating
Aviata At Lakeside Oaks holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationally. That overall score is a composite that weighs the three sub-ratings together, with health inspections carrying the most influence, which helps explain why the facility lands where it does despite some stronger scores in other areas. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found a concerning number or severity of citations during their visits. For families, that's worth taking seriously, since it reflects real, documented issues that regulators flagged on-site. The staffing rating comes in at 3 stars, which is average and suggests the facility has a fairly typical number of nurse hours relative to how many residents it serves. Not a red flag, but not a standout either. The bright spot here is the quality measures rating, which is 4 stars, or above average. This score is based on 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, infections, pain management, and similar health outcomes for residents. A strong score there suggests that, in terms of day-to-day physical health outcomes, residents are generally faring better than at many comparable facilities. So families are looking at a somewhat mixed picture: the hands-on care results appear solid, but the inspection history gives reason to ask questions. It would be worth asking the facility directly about what those inspection citations involved and what steps have been taken to address them.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents is each certified nursing aide responsible for during a typical day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends? 2. How long have your nurses and aides who work this floor been here, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year? 3. If my loved one had a fall or a sudden change in condition overnight, walk me through exactly what would happen and who would contact me. 4. What does a typical weekday look like for a resident who does not want to stay in their room all day? 5. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and can you explain any deficiencies that were cited? 6. If my loved one is unhappy here or feels their concerns are being ignored, what is the process for raising a complaint, and who outside of this facility can they contact?

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.
