Staffing Rating
University Health And Rehabilitation Center holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is a composite that pulls together three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how a facility operates and cares for its residents.
The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, which is right at average. This score reflects findings from recent state inspections, including how many citations the facility received and how serious those issues were. It's worth asking the facility directly about any recent citations and what steps they've taken to address them. The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning residents here receive more nursing attention than most facilities, which can make a real difference in day-to-day care and response times. The quality measures rating is the standout at 5 stars, the highest possible score. This reflects clinical outcomes across 15 physical and health measures, things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents pressure wounds, and supports residents' physical functioning. A perfect score here suggests that residents are genuinely faring well health-wise, which is often what families care about most.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and how does that number change at night and on weekends?
2. How long have your director of nursing and your administrator been in their current roles at this facility?
3. If my loved one has a fall or a medical concern overnight, walk me through exactly what happens from the moment staff notice a problem to when the family gets a call.
4. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and can you explain what was cited and what you changed because of it?
5. How do you handle a resident who refuses a meal, misses activities, or starts withdrawing socially - what does your follow-up process look like?
6. If my loved one has a complaint or feels uncomfortable about something, who do they talk to, and how do you make sure that person feels safe speaking up without fear of any kind of pushback?

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.
