Staffing Rating
Breezy Hills Rehab And Care Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, so it helps to look at each one individually. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found a higher-than-average number of citations, or more serious ones, during their visits. That can be a real concern for families, since inspections catch things like care standard violations, safety issues, and infection control problems. The staffing rating comes in at 2 stars as well, which tells you that nurses and aides are spending fewer hours per day with residents than you would see at a typical facility. Less staff time often means slower responses, less hands-on care, and more pressure on the team that is there.
The one brighter spot is the quality measures rating, which sits at 3 stars, or average. This score is based on 15 clinical indicators, things like whether residents are experiencing pressure wounds, falls, or declines in mobility. An average score here suggests that despite the staffing challenges, resident health outcomes are not dramatically worse than what you would see elsewhere. Still, with two of the three building blocks below average, the composite score of 2 stars is something families should take seriously. It would be worth visiting in person, speaking with staff, and asking the facility directly about what they are doing to address the inspection findings and staffing levels.

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 often do residents see the same aides and nurses, and what is your current staff turnover rate?
3. Can you walk me through exactly what happens if a resident falls, has a medical emergency, or shows signs of a new infection?
4. How do you handle a resident who refuses to eat, seems withdrawn, or starts showing signs of depression?
5. What does a typical day look like for a resident who does not have family visiting often?
6. Has this facility been cited for any deficiencies in the past two years, and if so, what specific changes were made to fix the problem?

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.
