Staffing Rating
University Crossing holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings that each look at something different, and at University Crossing, all three land in the same solid place. The Health Inspection rating of 4 stars reflects that state inspectors found relatively few problems during their visits, and any issues they did note were on the less serious end. The Staffing rating of 4 stars tells you that nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you would typically see at other facilities - more hands on deck generally means more attentive day-to-day care. The Quality Measures rating of 4 stars is based on 15 clinical and physical health outcomes for residents, things like whether people are maintaining mobility, managing pain, or avoiding preventable infections. Scoring above average there suggests residents at University Crossing tend to fare well on the health outcomes that matter most. Taken together, this is a facility that a family can feel reasonably confident about, though as with any community, an in-person visit is always worth the trip.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during a 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 does turnover look like over the past year? 3. If my loved one had a fall or a sudden change in condition overnight, walk me through exactly what would happen and who would contact our family. 4. Can residents choose when they wake up, when they eat, and how they spend their afternoons, or does everyone follow the same daily schedule? 5. How do you handle a resident who refuses medication or a shower, and who on staff is trained to work through those situations? 6. When the state last inspected this facility, what were the main findings, and what specific changes did you make afterward?

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.
