Staffing Rating
Terrace Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall rating is a composite built from three separate scores, so it helps to look at each one individually to get a clear picture. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious issues here than at most facilities - that's a good sign for safety and regulatory compliance. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, which reflects how residents are actually doing physically and clinically across 15 tracked health outcomes like wound care, fall rates, and medication management. In practical terms, that's one of the strongest signals a facility can send. The one area worth a closer look is staffing, which sits at 2 stars. That rating is based on how many hours of nursing care residents receive relative to the total number of residents, and 2 stars means it falls below average. Staffing levels can affect how quickly residents get help, how attentive daily care is, and how much time nurses have with each person. It doesn't cancel out the strong ratings elsewhere, but for families whose loved one needs close, hands-on attention, it's worth asking the facility directly about nurse-to-resident ratios and how they're staffed on nights and weekends.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during the day shift, and how does that number change at night and on weekends? 2. How long have your charge nurses and CNAs been working at this specific facility, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year? 3. If my family member falls or has a medical emergency overnight, walk me through exactly what happens from the moment staff are alerted to when our family gets a phone call. 4. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and can you explain any deficiencies that were cited and what was done to fix them? 5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who does not have many visitors, from the time they wake up through the evening? 6. If my loved one is unhappy here or I have a serious complaint about their care, who do I talk to, and what has actually changed at this facility after a family raised a concern in the past?

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.
