Staffing Rating
Waters Edge Health And Rehabilitation earned a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which means it ranks much above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, and this facility scored at the top level in all three. The health inspection rating reflects how the facility performed during state inspections, looking at how many violations were cited and how serious they were. A 5-star score here tells you that inspectors found very few or no significant problems, which is a strong sign that the facility is well-managed and consistently meeting care standards.
The staffing rating looks at how many hours of nursing care residents actually receive relative to the number of people living there. Five stars means residents at Waters Edge are getting a much higher level of hands-on attention from nurses than you would find at a typical facility, which matters a great deal for day-to-day comfort and safety. The quality measures rating is based on 15 clinical indicators that track real health outcomes for residents, things like rates of falls, pressure sores, hospitalizations, and how well residents maintain their physical functioning. Earning 5 stars across all three categories is genuinely rare and gives families a lot of reason for confidence when considering this facility for a loved one.

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 on average, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one has a fall, gets an infection, or shows a sudden change in behavior, what exactly happens next and who contacts me, how, and within what timeframe?
4. Can I see the most recent state inspection report, and can you walk me through any deficiencies that were cited and what you did to fix them?
5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who has limited mobility and isn't able to join group activities on their own?
6. If my loved one refuses a meal, refuses a bath, or seems withdrawn for several days in a row, how does your staff respond and who is responsible for following up?

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.
