Staffing Rating
St Andrews Bay Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation earned a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. A big reason for that top score is its perfect 5-star Health Inspection rating, meaning state inspectors found very few, if any, serious problems during their visits. That is a strong sign that the facility is being run safely and that residents are being looked after in a clean, well-managed environment. The Quality Measures rating sits at 3 stars, which is right at average. That score is based on 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and how well residents maintain their physical abilities, so there is room for improvement there, but nothing alarming.
The one area worth a closer look is the 2-star Staffing rating, which falls below average. This reflects the number of nursing hours available per resident each day, and a lower score means residents may have fewer hands-on staff hours than you would find at comparable facilities. For families, that can translate to longer wait times for help with daily needs or slower response when a resident needs attention. It is worth asking the facility directly about their staffing levels and how they handle busy periods. Keep in mind that the overall 5-star rating is a composite, and a strong Health Inspection score carries significant weight in that calculation, which is why the overall number looks better than the staffing piece alone might suggest.

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 most of your nursing staff been working here, and what do you do to keep turnover low?
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 refuses a meal, misses medications, or seems more confused than usual?
5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who doesn't have any scheduled therapy or family visits that day?
6. If I have a concern about my loved one's care, who do I talk to, how quickly will someone get back to me, and what happens if I feel like the problem isn't being resolved?

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.
