Staffing Rating
Diamond Ridge Health And Rehabilitation 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 ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer and less serious problems there than at most facilities. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, which reflects how residents are actually doing physically and clinically across 15 health outcome indicators, things like whether residents are maintaining mobility, avoiding infections, or managing pain. That's a strong sign that the care being delivered is producing real, positive results for the people living there. The one area worth noting is the staffing rating, which sits at 2 stars, indicating that the number of nursing hours per resident falls below average. That doesn't necessarily mean care is poor, and the quality measures score suggests residents are doing well overall, but it's a reasonable question to raise with the facility directly. Taken together, the picture at Diamond Ridge is largely encouraging. The top-line 5-star overall rating reflects that the facility's strengths, particularly its clinical outcomes and inspection history, outweigh the staffing concern in CMS's composite calculation. For your family, the quality measures score is arguably the most meaningful piece because it reflects what's actually happening with residents day to day. Still, it's worth asking the admissions team how they manage staffing levels and whether there are particular shifts or days where coverage runs leaner. A 5-star overall rating is a great starting point, but these conversations help you understand the full picture before making a decision.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for on a typical 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 when a scheduled nurse or aide calls out sick? 3. Can you walk me through exactly what happens if a resident falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night? 4. How do you handle a resident who has dementia and becomes agitated or tries to leave the building? 5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who does not have any therapy appointments scheduled that day? 6. If my family member has a complaint or feels they are not getting the care they need, who do they talk to, and how do we know it gets addressed?

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.
