AVIATA AT ST CLOUD

Aviata At St Cloud holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which puts it in the average range nationally. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings that each measure something different, and the pieces don't all land in the same place here. The health inspection rating comes in at 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found more citations, or more serious ones, than you'd see at a typical facility. That's worth looking into - you can ask the facility directly about what those citations were and what steps they've taken to address them. Staffing sits at 3 stars, which means residents are getting a fairly typical amount of nurse time relative to the number of people living there, nothing exceptional but not a red flag either. The bright spot is the quality measures rating, which is a perfect 5 stars. This score reflects actual health outcomes across 15 physical and clinical indicators, things like how residents are managing pain, whether they're experiencing falls or pressure sores, and how their overall physical condition is holding up over time. A 5 here means residents at Aviata At St Cloud are faring much better than average on those real-world health markers. For families, that gap between the inspection score and the quality measures score is an important conversation to have with the facility. It suggests that despite some compliance concerns flagged by inspectors, the day-to-day care residents receive appears to be producing strong results.
