Staffing Rating
Villa Maria West Skilled Nursing Facility earns a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall rating is built from three separate scores, each measuring something different about how a facility operates. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer and less serious issues here than at most facilities, though it's worth knowing this is the one area that isn't a perfect score. Staffing hits 5 stars, which tells you that nurses and aides are spending more time with residents compared to most other facilities in the country - a really meaningful detail when your loved one needs hands-on care every day. The quality measures rating is also 5 stars, reflecting that residents here tend to fare better across 15 tracked health outcomes, things like how well pain is managed, whether residents are maintaining their physical abilities, and how often avoidable complications occur. When you see a 5-star overall rating, it means the facility is performing at a high level across the board, and the pieces here back that up. Strong staffing usually translates to residents getting more attentive, responsive care. Strong quality measures suggest that care is actually producing good results for the people living there. And a 4-star health inspection score still puts this facility well above average on safety and compliance. Taken together, this is a strong signal that Villa Maria West is a well-run facility worth serious consideration for your family.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and how does that change at night and on weekends? 2. How long have your nursing staff and CNAs been working here on average, and what does your turnover look like over the past year? 3. If my family member falls or has a medical emergency overnight, who is on-site to respond and how quickly can a nurse reach them? 4. Can you walk me through exactly what a typical Tuesday looks like for a resident who needs help with bathing, meals, and getting around? 5. How do you handle a resident who is in pain or showing signs of distress and cannot clearly communicate what they need? 6. If I have a concern about my loved one's care, who do I contact, how fast can I expect a response, and what happens if I feel the problem has not been resolved?

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.
