AVIATA AT UNIVERSITY HILLS

Aviata At University Hills holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationally. That overall number is a composite that leans heavily on health inspections, so when inspections are low, the overall score tends to follow even if other areas look better. Here, the health inspection rating of 2 stars is the weak spot, meaning state inspectors found a higher-than-average number of citations or more serious ones during their visits. That matters practically because inspections are the closest thing to an outside check on whether a facility is actually following safe care practices day to day. The staffing rating comes in at 3 stars, which is average, meaning residents are getting a fairly typical amount of nurse time relative to the number of people living there. It is not a standout, but it is not a red flag either. The brightest spot is the quality measures rating of 4 stars, which is above average. That score reflects how residents are actually doing across 15 clinical indicators, things like rates of falls, pressure wounds, and hospital readmissions. A 4 here suggests that residents' physical health outcomes are genuinely better than most, which is an encouraging sign even in the context of the lower overall rating. Families looking at Aviata should weigh the inspection history carefully, but recognize that the day-to-day health outcomes for residents appear to be a relative strength.
