Staffing Rating
Cedarbrook Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star rating, which puts it in average territory nationally. That composite score is shaped by three separate ratings that tell pretty different stories about this facility. The health inspection rating comes in at 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found more or more serious problems here than you'd see at a typical nursing home. The staffing rating is also 2 stars, which reflects that nurses and aides are spending fewer hours per resident than the national average - something worth asking the facility about directly, since staffing levels can affect how quickly residents get help and how attentive day-to-day care feels. On the brighter side, the quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, which is based on 15 tracked health outcomes like wound care, fall rates, and medication management. That score suggests residents are actually faring quite well clinically once they're in the door.
So what does all this add up to for your family? The gap between the high quality measures score and the lower inspection and staffing scores is worth paying attention to. The clinical outcomes are genuinely strong, which is encouraging. But the inspection history and staffing levels are areas you'd want to dig into before making a decision. When you visit or call, it's reasonable to ask about recent inspection findings and how they've addressed them, and to get a feel for how responsive the staff seems on a typical day.

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. What happens when a resident presses their call button, and how long does it usually take for someone to respond?
3. Can you walk me through exactly what my loved one's day would look like, from the time they wake up to the time they go to sleep?
4. How do you handle it when a resident has a complaint or disagrees with their care plan, and can you give me a real example of how that played out?
5. What is your staff turnover rate over the past year, and how do you keep the same caregivers assigned to the same residents?
6. How have you been cited on your last three state inspections, and what specific changes did you make after each one?

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.
