Staffing Rating
Aviata At Arbor Springs holds an overall 2-out-of-5-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, and two of them are pulling it down. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found a higher-than-average number of citations, or more serious ones, during their visits. That can signal concerns about safety practices, care standards, or facility conditions. The staffing rating is 2 stars as well, which tells you the facility has fewer nursing hours per resident than most homes. In practical terms, that can affect how quickly staff respond to residents and how much individual attention each person receives day to day. The one bright spot is the quality measures rating, which comes in at 4 out of 5 stars. This is based on 15 clinical indicators tracking things like residents' physical health, pain management, and other care outcomes, and Aviata scores above average there. That gap between the quality outcomes score and the inspection and staffing scores is worth paying attention to. It suggests residents may be experiencing reasonably good health results, but families should still ask questions about staffing levels and what came up in recent inspections before making a decision.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant (CNA) care for during a typical day shift and a typical night shift? 2. What percentage of your staff are full-time employees versus agency or temporary workers, and how long have your CNAs been working here on average? 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 is showing signs of depression, isolation, or a noticeable change in mood or behavior? 5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who does not have any scheduled therapy or family visits that day? 6. Has this facility been cited for any deficiencies in the past two years, and if so, what specific changes did you make to fix the problem?

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.
