Staffing Rating
Oxford Nursing Home earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which puts it in the "much above average" category compared to nursing homes across the country. That top score is a composite of three separate ratings, and Oxford performs well across all three. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems than most facilities, which is a good sign that day-to-day care and safety standards are being met consistently. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, reflecting that nurses and aides spend more time with residents than average, which typically translates to more attentive, responsive care. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, based on 15 clinical indicators like how well the facility manages pain, prevents pressure sores, and supports residents' physical functioning. That top score suggests residents at Oxford are experiencing genuinely strong health outcomes.
When you put all three together, you get a clear picture of a facility that is not just checking compliance boxes but actually delivering above-average care in practice. While no single number tells the whole story, a 5-star overall rating backed by consistently high sub-scores across inspections, staffing, and clinical outcomes is a meaningful signal. For families doing their research, Oxford Nursing Home stands out as one of the stronger options worth taking a closer look at.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during a day shift, and how does that number change at night and on weekends?
2. How long have your director of nursing and your administrator been in their current roles here, and what is your typical turnover rate for CNAs over the past year?
3. Can you walk me through exactly what happens if a resident falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night?
4. How do you handle a situation where a resident or family member raises a complaint about care, and can you give me a recent example of a change you made based on that kind of feedback?
5. What does a typical weekday actually look like for a resident who doesn't have many scheduled therapy appointments, and how do you make sure they're not just sitting alone in their room?
6. Have you had any state citations or deficiencies in the past two years, and where can I see the details of what was found and how it was corrected?

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.
