Staffing Rating
Carrollwood Care Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which means it performs at about the average level compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, so it helps to look at each one individually to get a clearer picture.
On health inspections, the facility earned 3 stars, meaning state surveyors found a typical number of issues relative to other homes, nothing unusually concerning but no standout clean record either. Staffing also comes in at 3 stars, which tells you that nurses and aides are spending a roughly average amount of time with each resident, not stretched especially thin but not notably generous either. The brightest spot here is quality measures, where Carrollwood earned 4 stars. That rating is based on 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and how well residents maintain their mobility and daily functioning, so a 4 there suggests residents are experiencing better-than-average health outcomes day to day. For families, that combination means this is a middle-of-the-road facility in terms of oversight history and staffing levels, but the outcomes residents are actually experiencing lean positive, which is an encouraging sign worth weighing in your decision.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number go up at night or on weekends?
2. How long have your charge nurses and CNAs been working here, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one had a fall or a medical change in the middle of the night, walk me through exactly what would happen and who would be notified.
4. Can residents choose when they wake up, when they eat, and how they spend their afternoons, or is the day mostly set on a fixed schedule?
5. What does your survey history look like, and can you show me any deficiencies cited by the state in the last inspection and what you did to fix them?
6. How do you handle a resident who is showing signs of pain or distress but cannot clearly communicate it to staff?

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.
