Hillside Health And Rehabilitation Center

Hillside Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-out-of-5-star rating from CMS, which means it falls below average when compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is shaped by three separate ratings that each tell a different part of the story. The health inspection rating comes in at 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found a higher-than-average number of problems or more serious violations during their visits. The staffing rating is the most concerning piece, landing at just 1 star, which indicates nurses and aides are stretched thin relative to the number of residents living there. In practical terms, that can mean longer wait times for assistance, less one-on-one attention, and added pressure on the care team. On the brighter side, the quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, reflecting strong clinical outcomes across things like wound care, mobility, pain management, and other health indicators tracked for residents. The tricky thing about the overall rating is that a standout score in one area does not cancel out the weaker ones. Even with excellent clinical outcomes, the low staffing numbers and inspection history pull the overall rating down. For families considering this facility, the 5-star quality measures score is genuinely encouraging and worth asking about, but the staffing concern deserves a direct conversation with the admissions team. Ask specifically about nurse-to-resident ratios on the shift when your loved one would need the most support.
