Staffing Rating
Daleview Care Center holds a 4-star overall rating from CMS, meaning it performs above average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite built from three separate ratings, and it's worth understanding what each one tells you. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, which is average, meaning state inspectors found a typical number of citations during their visits, nothing unusually alarming but not a standout record either. The staffing rating is 2 stars, which is below average, and this one deserves attention from families. It means the facility has fewer nurse hours per resident than most comparable homes, which can affect how quickly staff respond to residents and how much hands-on care each person receives day to day. The bright spot is the quality measures rating, a perfect 5 stars, reflecting that residents at Daleview are experiencing strong clinical outcomes across 15 tracked health indicators, things like fall rates, pressure wounds, and pain management.
The way these pieces fit together explains why the overall rating lands at 4 stars despite the lower staffing score. The quality measures rating carries significant weight in the formula, and Daleview's excellent outcomes help pull the composite number up. Still, families should have a direct conversation with the facility about staffing levels, particularly for residents who need frequent assistance or have complex care needs. A strong outcomes record is genuinely encouraging, but knowing how many nurses and aides are typically on the floor during a given shift will give you a clearer picture of what daily life looks like for your loved one.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and how does that number change at night and 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 sudden change in condition overnight, walk me through exactly what would happen and who would contact me.
4. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and how did the facility respond to any deficiencies that were cited?
5. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who has limited mobility but is mentally sharp and still wants to stay engaged during the day?
6. If my family member refuses a meal, declines a bath, or pushes back on their care routine, how does your staff handle that, and would I be told?

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.
