Baldomero Lopez Memorial Veterans Nursing Home

Baldomero Lopez Memorial Veterans Nursing Home earns an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is about as strong as it gets. That top score is driven largely by a perfect 5-star Health Inspection rating, meaning state inspectors found very few or no significant citations when they reviewed the facility. That is a meaningful signal for families, since inspections look at everything from care practices to how staff treat residents. The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, which means nurses are spending more time with residents than average, though not quite at the highest tier. More nursing hours per resident generally translates to more attentive, responsive day-to-day care. The Quality Measures rating is 3 stars, landing right at average. This score reflects clinical outcomes across 15 health indicators, things like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and how residents are managing chronic conditions. An average score here is not a red flag, but it does suggest there may be room for improvement in some health outcome areas compared to higher-performing facilities. The overall rating is not just a simple average of the three pieces. CMS weights Health Inspections heavily, which helps explain why strong inspection results can carry a facility to an overall 5-star rating even when other areas are closer to the middle. For families, that means this facility has a genuinely strong track record with regulators and solid staffing levels, while clinical outcomes are worth asking the facility about directly during a visit or tour.
