Staffing Rating
Healthcare And Rehab Of Sanford holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which puts it in the average range compared to other nursing facilities nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, and understanding each one gives you a clearer picture of what life might actually look like for your loved one there.
The health inspection rating, also 3 stars, reflects what state inspectors found during their on-site visits. An average score here means the facility has had some citations, but nothing that stands out as unusually concerning compared to other homes. The quality measures rating is also 3 stars, meaning resident health outcomes like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and ability to manage daily activities are tracking about on par with the national average. The area worth paying closer attention to is staffing, which comes in at 2 stars, or below average. This means nurses and aides are spending fewer hours per resident than most facilities do, which can affect how quickly staff respond to needs, how much hands-on care residents receive, and overall day-to-day attentiveness. When you visit, it is worth asking about current staffing levels and how the facility handles nights and weekends specifically.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during the day shift and the night shift?
2. How long have most of your nursing aides been working here, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. What happens when a resident has a fall or a medical emergency in the middle of the night, and who specifically is responsible for responding?
4. Can you walk me through what a typical Tuesday looks like for a resident who doesn't have many visitors or scheduled activities?
5. How do you handle it when a resident or family member has a complaint about care, and can you give me a recent example of a problem that came up and how it was resolved?
6. What is your current rating on the federal Care Compare website, and if it's lower than five stars, what are you actively doing to improve it?

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.
