Staffing Rating
Jackson Gardens Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That top-line number is a composite drawn from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates and cares for residents. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer and less serious problems here than at most facilities. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, reflecting that nurses spend more time with residents than the average facility, which practically means your loved one is less likely to wait long for help or attention. The quality measures rating reaches the full 5 stars, the strongest of the three, based on 15 clinical indicators like how often residents develop pressure wounds, experience falls, or need hospitalization. This is often the most telling category because it reflects real health outcomes for the people living there. Together, these scores paint a genuinely encouraging picture. No facility is perfect, and the 4-star health inspection score suggests there were some findings during state reviews, though nothing that dragged the overall rating down. The combination of strong staffing and exceptional quality outcomes suggests that the care residents actually receive day-to-day is translating into better health results. For families comparing options, Jackson Gardens stands out as a facility that performs well across the board, not just in one area.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends? 2. How long have your charge nurses and CNAs been working here, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year? 3. If my loved one has a fall or a sudden change in condition overnight, what exactly happens, and how quickly will someone contact me? 4. Can I come back unannounced on a weekday afternoon or evening to see how things are running, or is there any reason that would be a problem? 5. What does a typical day look like for a resident who doesn't have a lot of scheduled therapy, and how do you make sure they're not just sitting alone in their room? 6. Has this facility been cited for any deficiencies in the last two years, and if so, what specifically changed to make sure that problem doesn't happen again?

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.
