Staffing Rating
Glades Health Care Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which means it performs about average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different, so it helps to look at them individually to get a clearer picture. On the staffing side, the facility earns 4 out of 5 stars, which is a real positive. That score reflects how many hours of nursing care residents receive relative to the number of people living there, and above-average staffing generally means residents are less likely to wait long for help and more likely to get consistent attention from caregivers. Health inspections come in at 3 stars, meaning state surveyors found a typical number and severity of issues during their visits - nothing that stands out as especially concerning, but not a clean bill of health either. The area worth watching is quality measures, which sits at 2 stars. That score is based on 15 clinical indicators like the rate of falls, pressure wounds, and how well residents maintain their mobility and overall health. A below-average score here suggests that resident health outcomes haven't been as strong as at many comparable facilities, and that's something families should ask the staff about directly when touring.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the 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 concern or feels unsafe, who do they talk to, and can you walk me through what happens after that conversation? 4. What does a typical day look like for a resident who isn't involved in scheduled activities, and how much time do they spend alone? 5. How do you handle situations where a resident's condition changes quickly, and how soon would you contact our family when something comes up? 6. Has this facility been cited for any deficiencies in the last two state inspections, and where can I read the full reports myself?

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.
