Staffing Rating
The Lilac At Silver Palms holds an overall 4-star 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 the facility operates. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, which is average. That score reflects the number and severity of citations found during state inspections, so it tells you the facility has had some findings but nothing that stands out as especially concerning. The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning nurses are spending more time with residents than what you would typically see at other facilities. More hours per resident generally translates to more attentive, responsive care on a daily basis. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, the highest possible, and this one looks at 15 real clinical outcomes like how often residents experience falls, pressure sores, or other health changes. Five stars here is a strong sign that residents are staying healthier over time. When you put it all together, the 4-star overall rating reflects a facility that genuinely stands out in the areas that tend to matter most to families. The health inspection score is solidly average, which keeps the overall number from being a 5, but the excellent staffing and outstanding clinical outcomes suggest that day-to-day care quality is a real strength here.

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 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, walk me through exactly what happens from the moment staff notices something is wrong to when the family gets a call. 4. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and what specific steps has the facility taken to fix any deficiencies that were cited? 5. What does a typical weekday actually look like for a resident who needs help with meals and getting around, from the time they wake up to when they go to bed? 6. How does the facility handle a resident who refuses a bath, skips meals, or becomes upset, and who on staff is trained to manage those situations?

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.
