Staffing Rating
Parklands Care Center And Rehab holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That composite rating is built from three separate pieces, so it's worth understanding what each one tells you. The health inspection rating sits at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most facilities, which is a good sign that the building is being run safely and responsibly. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, reflecting strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like wound care, fall prevention, and medication management - in practical terms, residents here tend to fare better health-wise than at the vast majority of nursing homes. The one area to be aware of is staffing, which comes in at 2 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending fewer hours per resident than the national average. That doesn't automatically mean residents aren't getting good care, but it's worth asking the facility directly about how they manage staffing levels and whether there are particular shifts or days when coverage is thinner.
The strong quality outcomes despite the lower staffing number is actually an interesting combination, and it suggests the staff they do have may be working efficiently and effectively. Still, if your loved one has high care needs or requires a lot of hands-on assistance, the staffing piece is worth a direct conversation with the admissions team before making a decision.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have most of your nursing staff been working here, and what do you do when you have an open shift?
3. Can you walk me through exactly what happens if a resident falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night?
4. How do you handle a resident who keeps asking to go home or gets upset and confused, and who specifically steps in when that happens?
5. When was your last state inspection, and can I see the results along with any written plans you made to fix problems that were found?
6. What does a typical day actually look like for a resident who needs help with bathing, meals, and getting around, from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed?

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.
