Staffing Rating
Plaza Health And Rehab earns an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That composite rating pulls together three separate scores, and this facility does well in two of the three areas. The health inspection rating of 4 stars means state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most facilities, which is a good sign that the day-to-day care environment is well-managed and relatively safe. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, meaning residents here tend to fare better than peers at other facilities across 15 tracked health outcomes like wound care, fall rates, and medication management. That's the kind of result that speaks directly to how residents are actually doing physically over time. The one area worth a closer look is staffing, which comes in at 2 stars, meaning the number of nursing hours per resident falls below average. For families, that could translate to longer waits for assistance or nurses stretched a bit thin on any given shift. It does not necessarily mean care is poor, especially given those strong quality outcomes, but it is a reasonable question to bring up when you tour. Ask how they're staffed on nights and weekends, and whether they use agency nurses to fill gaps. Overall, the 5-star composite reflects a facility that performs well on the big picture, while the staffing score is a helpful reminder to dig a little deeper before making your final 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 to keep staff from leaving? 3. If my loved one falls or has a medical emergency overnight, who specifically responds and how quickly? 4. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and how did you address any deficiencies that were cited? 5. How do you handle a resident who refuses medication, meals, or personal care, and who makes decisions when the family cannot be reached right away? 6. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who is mobile and social versus one who stays mostly in their room?

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.
