Staffing Rating
Gateway Post-Acute And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing facilities nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and when one area drags significantly, it pulls the whole picture down. Here, the health inspection rating is the weak link, coming in at 2 stars. This reflects the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections, meaning inspectors identified concerns that were more frequent or more serious than what you'd see at a typical facility. That's worth paying close attention to, since inspections are one of the more direct windows into day-to-day conditions and safety practices. The staffing and quality measures ratings each land at 3 stars, which puts Gateway right around the national average in those areas. On staffing, that means the number of nursing hours residents receive relative to how many people live there is fairly typical, not a standout but not a red flag either. The quality measures score reflects clinical outcomes across 15 health indicators, things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents infections, or supports residents' physical function, and average here means results are in line with most other facilities. Taken together, this is a facility that performs adequately in care delivery but has room to improve when it comes to its inspection track record, which is something families should ask about directly when visiting.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing aide typically care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends? 2. How long have your charge nurses been working at this specific facility, and what is your average staff turnover rate over the past year? 3. If my loved one falls or has a medical emergency overnight, walk me through exactly what happens from the moment staff are alerted to when a family member gets called. 4. Can I see the most recent state inspection report, and can you explain any deficiencies that were cited and what you changed because of them? 5. How do you make sure residents who cannot speak up for themselves still have a say in things like their daily schedule, meals, and activities? 6. What does a typical weekday actually look like for a resident who does not have physical therapy scheduled, from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed?

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.
