Staffing Rating
River City Nursing And Rehab 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 piece individually. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most facilities, which is a good sign that the care environment is well-managed and residents are generally safe. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, reflecting strong outcomes across 15 clinical and physical health indicators, things like how well residents maintain their mobility, avoid infections, or manage pain. That score tells you the people living there are faring better than residents at the vast majority of nursing homes across the country. The one area worth a closer look is staffing, which sits at 2 stars, or below average. This means nurses and aides are spending fewer hours per resident per day than what CMS considers typical. In practice, that can translate to longer waits for assistance, staff who are stretched thin, or less one-on-one attention during daily care routines. It is worth asking the facility directly about their staffing levels and how they handle nights, weekends, and high-need residents. The strong quality outcomes suggest the current staff is doing capable work, but lower staffing is something families should factor in, especially if a loved one has complex care needs or requires close monitoring.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during the day shift, and does that number change on evenings and weekends? 2. How long have most of your nursing staff been working here, and what do you do to keep turnover low? 3. If my loved one falls or has a medical concern in the middle of the night, walk me through exactly what happens from the moment staff are alerted to when a family member gets a call. 4. Can I come back for an unannounced visit at a different time of day, including evenings or weekends, and will I have access to common areas and dining? 5. What does a typical weekday look like for a resident who isn't enrolled in therapy, and how do you make sure they have meaningful things to do and people to talk to? 6. Has this facility been cited for any deficiencies in the last two state inspections, and can you show me the most recent survey report?

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.
