Staffing Rating
Specialty Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating, which means it performs above average compared to other nursing homes nationally. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and it is worth understanding each one individually since they tell different stories. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, which is a good sign - it means state inspectors found relatively few problems, and any issues they did find were not particularly serious. The quality measures rating sits at 3 stars, reflecting average performance across 15 clinical benchmarks like wound care, fall rates, and physical decline, meaning residents are getting outcomes in line with what you would expect from a typical facility.
The one area worth paying attention to 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 can mean nurses and aides are stretched thinner than they should be. In practical terms, that can sometimes translate to longer response times or less one-on-one attention for residents. It does not cancel out the facility's strengths, but it is a fair question to raise directly with the staff during a tour - ask about typical nurse-to-resident ratios and how they handle busier shifts.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing aide care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have your direct care staff been working here, and what is your turnover rate over the past year?
3. If my loved one has a concern or feels unsafe, what is the exact process for reporting it, and who follows up to make sure it was addressed?
4. Can you walk me through what a typical day looks like for a resident, from the time they wake up to when they go to sleep?
5. How do you handle situations where a resident's condition changes suddenly, and how quickly does a family member get notified?
6. Has this facility received any citations or complaints in the past two years, and if so, what did you do 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.
